Submitting a Book Review

Please note that the journal’s online submission system is the only acceptable means of submitting a book review. Book reviews submitted directly to the editorial office or to the Book Review Editor will not be considered. When submitting your book review manuscript, please add the words [BOOK REVIEW] in the title text box. 

Unsolicited book reviews are submitted at the author’s own risk, with no promise of publication. 

Book reviews should be 500–1000 words long, with specific parameters assigned by the Book Review Editor.

Preface your book review with a citation in the following style:

BOOK REVIEW of Gifford, Paul. 1998. African Christianity: Its Public Role. Bloomington: Indiana University Press. 368 pp. $39.95 (cloth), $22.95 (paper).
