Old Testament research. Reality has surpassed the expectations of the founders, as Scandinavian
Journal of the Old Testament is rapidly becoming one of the major outlets of
international Old Testament scholarship, although without losing its specific Scandinavian
character. Contributions by leading scholars have in recent years changed the scholarly
understanding of the history of Israel. Such contributions have been published in issues
devoted to special themes such as heritage of Sigmund Mowinckel; the question of Israel's
origin; Old Testament and Literature."

Theology
and Science "The primary editorial goal of Theology and Science is to
publish critically reviewed articles that promote the creative mutual interaction between
the natural sciences and theology. While the journal assumes the integrity of each domain,
its primary aim is to explore this interaction in terms of the implications of the natural
sciences for constructive research in philosophical and systematic theology, the
philosophical and theological elements within and underlying theoretical research in the
natural sciences, and the relations and interactions between theological and scientific
methodologies. The secondary editorial goal is to monitor and critically assess debates
and controversies arising in the broader field of science and religion. Thus, Theology
and Science will investigate, analyze, and report on issues as they arise with the
intention of prompting further academic discussion of them. The central scientific focus
of Theology and Science will be on developments in physics, cosmology, evolutionary
biology, and genetics, with additional topics in the neurosciences, the environmental
sciences, and mathematics. With regard to the theological task, Theology and Science
will engage in both Christian and multi-religious reflection. The Christian theological
agenda will focus on the various doctrinal loci of systematic theology. The
multi-religious agenda will attend primarily to theological issues arising from the
engagement between the sciences and religious traditions such as Islam, Hinduism, Judaism,
Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and native spiritualities. This approach reflects the
editors' assumption that theology, as intellectual reflection upon one's religious
tradition, should begin by expressing the fundamental commitments and worldview of a
specific religious understanding, and that dialogue with science can best be pursued when
such a religious understanding is given self-critical expression. Attention will also be
given to research into the historical relationship between science and religion, along
with research into the broader relationship between the philosophy of science and the
philosophy of religion. Research in the social sciences and in the humanities will be
invited to complement these primary foci when they offer needed connections between
scientific theories and theology. This may also involve the resources of such disciplines
as anthropology, cultural studies, historical theology, and metaphysics. This editorial
policy is formulated with the guiding confidence that a serious dialogue between science
and theology will lead to a variety of new and progressive research programs, and that
these in turn will yield new insights, deeper understanding, and new knowledge at the
frontiers of science and religion."
