Soma, a new International Journal of Theological Discourses and Counter-Discourses, is now accepting articles on the theme of 'Theology and Globalization' for its inaugural (2011) edition.
Along with a guest editorial by Rowan Williams, the first edition will feature a lead article by Joerg Rieger. In his book, Theology and Globalization (Abingdon Press, 2010) Rieger argues that theology cannot be understood without globalization(s) and globalization(s) cannot be understood without theology. Rieger asks how understandings and practices of globalization(s) impact Christian practices and Christian beliefs about God. What type of power is at work in globalization(s) and how does that relate to visions of divine power? Can any practice of globalization enhance the well-being of human beings?
Articles addressing these issues and related issues will be considered for the first edition of Soma. Articles should be no more than 8,000 words. Submissions should be sent to soma.editor@sjut.org by 30 January, 2011.
Emerging Voices
Soma encourages submissions, in the form of both short articles and book reviews, from unpublished scholars and experienced practitioners for its 'Emerging Voices' section. Submissions should be between 4,000-5,000 words and be sent to soma.editor@sjut.org by 30 January, 2011. A list of books for review can be obtained by contacting the editor.
About Soma
Soma is a peer-reviewed online open access international theology journal based in the heart of Africa. Soma is a word which we have hybridized. In Greek it is a noun. It means “body”. In Kiswahili it is a verb. It means “to read” or "to study". This journal seeks to develop a body of theological knowledge, practice, and reflection across languages, cultures, disciplines and economic backgrounds. In these interstitial spaces and moments theological discourses and theological counter-discourses will emerge. Consequently, while we are interested in modern theology generally, we will give priority to theologizing which is consciously done on the boundaries or margins of well established theological discourses and theologizing which is done on the boundaries or margins of societies.
