Restoration Quarterly

Article and Book Review Submission Guidelines

Submissions

Contributors should submit the article as an electronic copy that is PC compatible (preferably MS Word) and a pdf. In addition, a 100-150 word, single-paragraph summary and a brief biographical sketch should be included. Manuscripts should follow the Quarterly's customary style (The Chicago Manual of Style and The SBL Handbook of Style) and should be typed and double-spaced, using a unicode font (including words that do not use the Latin alphabet). Footnotes should be kept to a minimum.

All manuscripts, books for review, and communications regarding editorial matters should be addressed to Richard Wright, Editor, at richard.wright@acu.edu.

Book Review Submission Guidelines

Restoration Quarterly currently publishes two types of reviews.

  • Shorter reviews of around 400 words. These reviews should state clearly what the book tries to accomplish, something of its contents, its strengths and weaknesses, and the audience it will most benefit.
  • Featured reviews of around 800 words. These reviews cover books that are of special importance in their field or hold special relevance to our readers. They should address the same concerns as the shorter reviews. In addition, they can deal at greater length with issues of method. They should put the book in the larger context of its field, or perhaps relate the issues it raises to the heritage of the Stone-Campbell movement.

Contributors should submit the review as an electronic copy that is PC compatible (preferably MS Word)

Type the bibliographical information at the top of the first page using the following format: Title (Italicize), by Author or Editor(s) in upper case. Publisher location: publisher, year. 000 pp. $00.00. For example: Christobiography: Memory, History, and the Reliability of the Gospels, by CRAIG S. KEENER. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2019. 743 pp. $54.99.

Type your name and the location of your institution at the end of the review as follows: Harding University JOAN B. DOE

Proofread your review carefully, paying attention to proper names, technical terms, dates, and numbers. We will edit your review for grammar and style. No footnotes please.

Please keep your review within the assigned length; such limits will help us cover as many books as possible. If your review is too long, we will shorten it or return it to you for trimming.

Please send reviews to:

Dr. Samjung Kang-Hamilton, Book Review Editor, at skhamilton@acu.edu
