A quarterly worth keeping on the shelf

Each issue of Theology Matters takes a single question seriously. A lead essay sets the theme. Contributing pastors and scholars take it up from different angles. The result is a quarterly that earns its place on a working pastor’s shelf, the kind of journal you keep, return to, and lend out.

The print journal has been free, by design, since 1994. There is no payment, no tier, and no automatic renewal. Sign up once with your mailing address; the next issue will arrive in your mailbox.
