Information for Reviewers:
If you would like to write reviews for The Bible and Critical Theory, or to nominate a book for review (see selection criteria below), please contact George Aichele. Reviewers are not paid but receive a free copy of the review book.
Book reviews should be 1000-1500 words in length, and they should include not only a summary of the book, but critical engagement on the part of the reviewer with the book. Reviews should be formatted as specified in the Monash ePress Submission Guide. They should be submitted in a timely manner (preferably within two months of receipt of the book). Completed reviews should be sent to George Aichele as email attachments, in either MS Word (.doc) or Rich Text File (.rtf) format.
Information for Authors and Publishers:
If you would like your published books to be reviewed in The Bible and Critical Theory, please contact George Aichele. We are especially interested in recent and forthcoming books of scholarly interest that bring together biblical texts and critical theory (including but not limited to postmodernism, post-colonialism, radical feminism, Marxist studies, and queer theory). We are also interested in books exploring or critiquing theoretical aspects of critical theory, or on related topics of relevance to biblical studies, even if they do not directly involve the Bible.
We do not guarantee review of unsolicited books, nor do we return them. Publishers receive a digital copy of each published review of their books, in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format. The Bible and Critical Theory does not publish hard copy, only online/digital.
