JIBS is a peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to publishing cutting edge articles that embody interdisciplinary, social justice-oriented, feminist, queer, and innovative biblical scholarship. We welcome submissions that challenge canonical and/or disciplinary norms and boundaries or that query the field of biblical studies’ relationship to the broader investigation of human religion, culture, and literature. JIBS will publish two issues a year in summer and in winter.
Peer Review Policy
JIBS has a double-blinded peer review process. Editorial staff examine submitted manuscripts in the first instance before sending them on to two independent experts for review. Editors do not disclose the identity of the author to the reviewers, nor is the reviewers’ identity revealed to the author at any stage in the process. Comments by reviewers may be passed on to authors in addition to editorial feedback.
