About

For over one hundred years, the Anglican Theological Review has been the unofficial journal of the seminaries of the Episcopal Church in the United States and the Anglican Church of Canada.

We are committed to creative intellectual engagement with Christian tradition, and to interdisciplinary inquiry that includes literature and the arts, philosophy, and science. In the spirit of sound learning that marks Anglican divinity, we aim to foster scholarly excellence and thoughtful conversation in and for the church.

Collapse section Poetry Open

The ATR has a longstanding commitment to publishing poetry alongside its academic articles and reviews, and to reviewing collections of poetry. We recognize the important contribution of poets to Anglican theological discourse, from the sixteenth century to the present day. We print the work of established poets with numerous publications alongside that of emerging poets. We are happy to have published Mark Jarman, Andrew Hudgins, Jeanne Murray-Walker, Peter Cooley, Luci Shaw, and Shane McCrae, among many other fine poets.

The ATR seeks poetry that explores the contours of faith, doubt, and devotion, aspects of Christian spirituality, or larger questions of meaning. The poetry published in our pages uses fresh and evocative imagery, is attentive to the sound of language, and is attuned to the work of contemporary poets as well as past masters of religion and literature.

We do not publish poetry that is archaic in language, saccharine in devotion, or didactic in theology. Poems that make use of traditional forms in inventive and surprising ways are welcome.
