THE ORTHODOX CENTER FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF BIBLICAL STUDIES (OCABS) is pleased
to announce the launching of its new, on-line academic journal, The Journal of
the Orthodox Center for the Advancement of Biblical Studies (JOCABS). The
mission of JOCABS is to promote scholarship in biblical studies, homiletics, and
religious education among Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Christians around the
world.

Although submissions in English are preferred thus ensuring greater
accessibility, academic papers in other languages (especially Arabic, Armenian,
Finnish, French, German, Greek, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, and Spanish) will be
considered by our multi-lingual editorial board and its international
associates.

Articles may be submitted in the following areas:

-- Old Testament and Cognate Studies. Including (but not limited to) critical
studies in Hebrew Bible; Septuagint; Pseudepigrapha; Ancient Near Eastern
History and Culture; Syro-Palestinian Archaeology.

-- New Testament and Cognate Studies. Including (but not limited to) critical
studies in New Testament; Early Christian Literature; Apocryphal Literature and
Traditions; Classical Studies; Archaeology of the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

-- The Bible in Homiletics and Christian Education. Including theoretical and
methodological studies dedicated to the practical applications of biblical
scholarship to both preaching and pedagogy.

-- Book Reviews. Submissions of critical reviews of books related to the field
of biblical studies will be accepted and invited.

JOCABS is committed to promoting scholarship among scholars and graduate
students and encourages them to submit papers to its peer-reviewed process. The
first issue will appear in the Summer of 2008, and semiannually thereafter.
