Thanks to everyone who has responded to my query thusfar; your time and effort is most appreciated. At the moment, I haven't access to a seminary or university library at all; however, there is much I have been able to find on the Internet. My primary area of interest in the Middle Ages is the Carolingian Era, as well as the rise of Scholasticism; I am also quite interested in researching the medieval antecedents to the Reformation of the 16th century. I plan on beginning graduate study next year, working toward the PhD in Historical Theology, specializing in the medieval period, and I would like to keep abreast on current scholarship--hence, my interest in subscribing to a journal or two. I am always hesitant to offer suggestions myself, but I should like to benefit from the advice and opinions of those on this list. I hope I've clarified my interests a bit, and that there are indeed journals out there that might suffice. Thanks again. The Rev. Travis D.
