Cambridge University Press is delighted to announce that, as of 2009, it
will be publishing Journal of Anglican Studies (JAS).
At a time when contemporary Anglicanism is so much in the public eye, the
journal provides an important home for serious scholarly conversation on
all aspects of Anglicanism, a view endorsed by Archbishop Rowan Williams,
who said of the journal:
“I am delighted to commend the Journal of Anglican Studies as an important
initiative in building conversation and understanding throughout the
Communion."
Bruce Kaye, former General Secretary of the Anglican Church of Australia
and the journal’s editor explained: “Around the world Anglicans work out
their faith in vastly different circumstances which necessarily creates
significant plurality of expression of the faith. As a consequence
Anglicanism contains a good deal of variety and, in the present generation,
significant differences and conflicts. The JAS seeks to address this
situation by providing for engaged conversation among Anglican scholars
around the world.”
JAS publishes two issues a year and the 2009 Volume (Volume 7) will
features two particularly pertinent themed issues; an issue with papers
from the recent Lambeth Conference and an issue on post colonialism. To

The journal was established by the Journal of Anglican Studies Trust just
over six years ago. In moving to Cambridge University Press, Journal of
Anglican Studies is joining a world-leading Religious Studies publishing
programme, encompassing journals and books. This year Cambridge University
Press celebrates 425 years of continuous publishing, and the Press has been
publishing the Bible since 1591.
