FaithPedia: Journal of Religious Studies and Civilization is an international, peer-reviewed, and open-access academic journal dedicated to the rigorous, multi-disciplinary study of religious phenomena, theological discourses, and their profound impact on the evolution of human civilizations. The journal serves as a premier intellectual forum for theologians, historians, sociologists, philosophers, and cultural researchers to publish original research, conceptual studies, and comprehensive literature reviews that examine the dynamic relationship between faith, sacred texts, institutional structures, and global societal development.

Scope and Topics FaithPedia welcomes high-quality submissions that present deep analytical, empirical, historical, or comparative approaches to religious and civilizational studies. The journal’s scope encompasses a broad spectrum of academic domains, including but not limited to:

  • Comparative Religion & Theology: Inter-religious dialogue, comparative analysis of sacred texts, theological evolutions, and the philosophical foundations of world religions.

  • Sociology & Anthropology of Religion: Religious practices in contemporary society, spiritual movements, the intersections of faith and community development, and religious ritual dynamics.

  • History of Religions & Civilizations: The historical development of global faiths, the role of religion in building or transforming empires, and the preservation of religious and cultural heritage.

  • Religion, Ethics, & Contemporary Public Policy: Religious perspectives on bioethics, human rights, environmental sustainability, economic equity, and social justice.

  • Inter-Faith Relations & Pluralism: Studies on religious tolerance, conflict resolution, multiculturalism, and the co-existence of diverse faith communities in a globalized world.

  • Religion, Media, & Digital Culture: The representation of faith in digital media, online religious expressions, and the impact of artificial intelligence and digital technology on spiritual practices.

Publication Frequency and Access FaithPedia is published biannually (twice a year). The journal strictly adheres to an Open Access policy, ensuring that intellectual scholarship regarding religious thought and civilizational history is universally accessible without barriers. All published articles are immediately, permanently, and freely available for the worldwide academic, spiritual, and public community to read, download, copy, and distribute under a Creative Commons (CC) license, eliminating any subscription or paywall requirements.

Peer Review Process To uphold the highest standards of academic integrity and scientific quality, every submitted manuscript undergoes a strict double-blind peer review process. Independent scholars and expert reviewers in specific domains of religious studies and sociology evaluate submissions based on their conceptual originality, methodological soundness, analytical depth, and constructive contribution to global scholarly discourse. The identities of both the authors and the reviewers remain strictly confidential throughout the evaluation process to guarantee an objective and unbiased assessment.

Mission Statement: "The mission of FaithPedia is to bridge the critical gap between theological foundations and the historical or empirical realities of global civilizations. By fostering inclusive, objective, and rigorous academic dialogues, the journal aims to inspire enlightened perspectives, encourage mutual understanding among diverse global traditions, and actively contribute to the cultivation of a peaceful, harmonious, and sustainably developed world society."
