• Journal of the Canadian Society for Syriac Studies, published by Gorgias Press on behalf of the Canadian Society for Syriac Studies, was created with the mission of promoting the study of the Syriac culture, a crossroad between the Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and Aramean civilizations and Eastern Christendom, and a link between the Semitic and Greek and Roman worlds. The CSSS focuses on Syriac literature, which is rooted in the same soil from which the ancient Mesopotamian and biblical literatures sprung; on Syriac art that bears Near Eastern characteristics as well as Byzantine influence; and on archaeology which unearths the history of the Syriac-speaking people: Assyrians, Chaldeans, Maronites, and Catholic and Orthodox Syriacs.

• European Journal of Japanese Philosophy, published by Chisokudō Publications, is a peer-reviewed academic journal published annually in the fall on behalf of the European Network of Japanese Philosophy (ENOJP). Its aim is to provide a forum for critical articles and translations related to Japanese philosophy. It is the first multi-lingual journal in Europe that makes the philosophical resources available in the intellectual history of Japan accessible to the international academic audience.
• Pastoral Psychology, published by Springer Science and Business Media, is an international forum that publishes scholarly, peer-reviewed original articles that address varied aspects of religion and spirituality from physical, human science, and interfaith perspectives. Historically, the word “pastoral” has referred to the care of individuals, families, and communities. Today, we additionally consider “pastoral” in terms of lived experience as it relates to the embodiment, the social-political, economic, spiritual, and environmental dimensions of life.
• Journal of Religion and Health, published by Springer Science and Business Media, explores the most contemporary modes of religious and spiritual thought with particular emphasis on their relevance to current medical and psychological research. Taking an eclectic approach to the study of human values, health, and emotional welfare, this international interdisciplinary journal publishes original peer-reviewed articles that deal with mental and physical health in relation to religion and spirituality of all kinds.
• Bulletin of the Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture, published by Nanzan University annually in the spring, serves as the annual report of the Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture, with lists of the events, reports of the members’ activities and academic contributions, and summaries of conferences. It also serves as a short academic journal in its own right, with articles of general interest and timely features on themes of current importance on the Japanese religious scene.

• Analogia: The Pemptousia Journal for Theological Studies, published by St. Maxim the Greek Institute, is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the scholarly exposition and discussion of the theological principles of the Christian faith. A distinguishing feature of this journal will be the effort to advance a dialogue between Orthodox Christianity and the views and concerns of Western modes of theological and philosophical thought. A key secondary objective is to provide a scholarly context for the further examination and study of common Christian sources.
• ACTS 신학저널 (ACTS Theological Journal), published by ACTS Theology Institute, is an academic journal that aims at the development of theocentrism and evangelicalism in keeping with the mission of the ACTS Theology Institute.
