Online Submissions

The Bulletin primarily publishes a wide array of essays on the study of religion and the various institutional and research field sites where that work takes place. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed by our editorial team at the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama. If you are interested in submitting an essay, we ask you first to contact the editor, Prof. Richard Newton (rwnewton@ua.edu), so that he can assist you in the process, including submission to our online system. Please make sure you have read the full author guidelines before beginning the submission process.
