About

Claremont Journal of Religion (CJR) is a student led, peer-reviewed, online journal that focuses on the ways "religion" can be understood in the contemporary world. CJR is in relationship with the recently established Claremont Lincoln University, Claremont School of Theology, Claremont Graduate University, Claremont University Consortium, and The Society for Philosophy and Religion at Claremont (SPARC). The goal of this journal is to provide a forum for emerging scholars, academics, graduate students, and lay-leaders to publish their latest work in the broad field of "religious studies."

Issues will be published quarterly and contain 4-6 articles and 2-4 book reviews. ISSN# 2162-3732. Each issue will be available to order in print through Amazon. Eventually the Journal will be looking to be indexed in The Philosopher's Index. Claremont Journal of Religion ©, Kile Jones 2011.
