The Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature & Culture

Book reviews are arranged by the reviews coordinators and editor. Authors and publishers interested in having books reviewed, and prospective reviewers, are invited to discuss book review ideas with them (see editorial contacts).

The JSRNC publishes three types of reviews:

1. Review essays will be article-length and explore a discipline or theme pertinent to the nexus of religion/nature/culture in a way that is accessible to an interdisciplinary audience, introducing them to this aspect of the emerging field. They will spotlight recent books, but will also discuss even the earliest works and antecedents to current discussions.
2. Book Reviews will assess recent scholarly books, or major works by important religious practitioners who are the subject of scholarly inquiry. These will generally be between 400 and 800 words.
3. Book Notes will briefly mention of scholarly works pertinent to but somewhat peripheral to the religion/culture/nature field, or popular works by practitioners and others that scholars may wish or should be aware of, but that do not merit detailed attention as scholarly works.

Questions regarding any types of these reviews should be directed to the Book Review editor or coordinators.

All reviews should be submitted according to the Preparing the Manuscript guidelines in the Submissions page.
