ASBaMT:

Amsterdam Studies in Baptist and Mennonite Theology

ASBaMT: Amsterdam Studies in Baptist and Mennonite Theology is a high-quality series presenting outstanding research with international relevance. It is a platform for both younger scholars (dissertations) and established scholars (monographs, collections of essays). It is rooted in the Believers´ Church tradition (Anabaptist-related, Free Church, Peace-Church) and is ecumenical in orientation. It is a collaboration between the McClendon Chair (VU University Amsterdam), the Chair for (Mennonite-) Peace Theology and Ethics (VU University Amsterdam), and the IBTS associated Chair of Christian Social Ethics (VU University Amsterdam). It is supported by the Baptist Seminary Amsterdam, the Mennonite Seminary and the Amsterdam Centre for Religion and Peace & Justice, and the International Baptist Theological Study Centre (IBTS), on the basis of ‘shared ownership’.

Series subdivisions

The series will host a spectrum of five academic fields, while at the same time holding to a narrow focus within these fields on themes that are of particular importance and characteristic to the Baptist and/or Mennonite tradition, and will bind the series together:

  • Biblical Theology and Hermeneutics
  • Baptist and Mennonite History
  • Systematic/Dogmatic Theology from Baptist and Mennonite/Peace-Church perspectives.
  • Ethics / Peace & Conflict Studies
  • Mission and Ecclesial Practices

The goal of our publication policy is to vary in a representative way between these fields, depending on the availability and quality of submissions. Important is to note that many contemporary studies are already interdisciplinary in character and will combine two or three of the abovementioned fields.

Call for manuscripts

The series is open for promising studies in the fields mentioned above. For more information regarding the series and possible submissions please contact David McMillan (Dit e-mailadres wordt beveiligd tegen spambots.
