Fare Forward A Christian Review of Ideas

See other projects related to this listing.

About

Fare Forward is a Christian review of ideas founded in 2012 by a group of young Ivy League graduates. Trained by our time in the campus journal movement (now known as the Augustine Collective), we set out to start a publication that would be creedally orthodox, intentionally ecumenical, politically unaffiliated, and welcoming to all readers, regardless of faith or lack thereof. Our name is taken from these lines of “The Dry Salvages”— the third of T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. We are committed to its injunction to “consider the future / And the past with an equal mind.” How do we do this? First, through a broad ecumenism that embraces any thought within the bounds of the Nicene Creed. Second, by shaping the journal through a framework we call “thick doctrine, deep practice.” We strive for rich and rigorous engagement with Christian thinkers and theologians, both past and present, combined with an intentional, incarnational, and transformative practice of the Christian life.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
