The Anglican Theological Review (ATR) : Archbishop (Emeritus) Desmond Tutu
Call for Manuscript Proposals
The Anglican Theological Review (ATR) invites scholars in philosophy, religion, theology, law, restorative justice, Africana studies, international affairs, and other relevant disciplines to propose papers on the theology and witness of Archbishop (Emeritus) Desmond Tutu, the 10th Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, anti-apartheid activist, Nobel Laureate, and global human rights leader. These papers will be published in a thematic issue of the journal celebrating the life, legacy, theology, and witness of one of the great prophets and Christian witnesses of the 20th century, and a saint for the 21st century.
This thematic issue, the Summer 2022 issue of the ATR (Volume 104, number 3), is being published to mark the 90th birthday of the Archbishop in October 2021. Its guest editors are the Rev. Dr. Michael Battle, the Rev. Canon Walter B. A. Brownridge, and the Rev. Dr. Canon C. K. Robertson.
The guest editors are seeking proposals for four to six articles from various perspectives of theology and related disciplines for the Articles section, which includes scholarly research articles on topics broadly related to Anglican theology. Manuscripts for this section will be between 7,000 and 8,000 words in length (including footnotes). The editors are also seeking proposals for two or three articles for the Practicing Theology section, which generally features articles from practitioners focusing on theology in concrete action. Manuscripts for this section will be between 3,000 and 4,000 words in length (including footnotes). The editors may also consider manuscripts from other disciplines that reflect on the legacy of the Archbishop’s episcopal ministry, his work as Chair of South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, or his being one of the founding members of The Elders, an international non-governmental organization composed of public figures recognized as elder statesmen, peace activists, and human rights advocates who serve as “independent global leaders working together for peace and human rights.”
Guidelines for Submission
The guest editors are receiving proposals for original, unpublished work that is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Proposals of 250–300 words should be sent as Word or RTF files to: desmondtutuatr@gmail.com. Proposals should indicate clearly in which of the two sections of the journal the author intends the eventual manuscript to appear. Include as a separate attachment a current curriculum vita of the potential author(s).
