Irish Theological Quarterly

The Irish Theological Quarterly (ITQ) is a refereed journal of systematic, moral, and historical theology, and of sacred scripture, founded in the Pontifical University at St Patrick's Pontifical University, Maynooth. It is committed to the advancement of constructive and critical scholarship in these areas and welcomes to its pages theologians from the international forum. Whereas its primary emphasis is on classical and contemporary theological issues, it also invites contributions from ancillary disciplines, such as philosophy, classical studies, and the social sciences, inasmuch as they have a direct bearing on theological reflection. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, the ITQ aims to be a place of discussion that is informed by this tradition, but it encourages equally an ecumenical and interfaith exchange in its presentations. The editor is Dr Suzanne Mulligan.

The ITQ features:

  • Articles by leading theologians who are international experts in
  • their respective fields
  • A forum for young theologians to publish their research findings
  • Competent book reviews to keep readers informed about the current
  • state of scholarship in theology, biblical studies, church history
  • and cognate disciplines
  • Commentary on intellectual developments that are of theological
  • interest

Maynooth Theological Journal (MTJ)

The Maynooth Theological Journal (MTJ) is a biannual journal that provides a scholarly forum for students to share their theological work and research interests. This journal, which was founded in 2010, originates from the difficulties that students may experience in attempting to bring their academic work to a wider audience. This refereed journal, which is a companion to the Irish Theological Quarterly, acts as a forum for students to develop their theological studies. The MTJ aims to equip students with the requisite skills for future publication in more established academic journals.
