RSS feedStudies in Religion is now available online
The CTS’ shared journal, Studies in Religion/Sciences Religieuses is now available online. Over the past year the journal has moved to a new publisher, SAGE Publications. The archives have been scanned and are available back to volume 1, no. 2 (Fall 1971).
Subscriptions to SR, as the journal is known by the religious scholars in Canada, is included in the membership fees for CTS. With the development of the new online access to the journal, each CTS full member will continue to receive a print version of the journal as well as online access to the complete archive. Articles will be available online as soon as they are prepared for publication, with the print version arriving as soon as the contents are complete. It is hoped that this will make articles available on a more timely basis.
In addition to the journal, CTS also participates in the publication series of the CCSR. There continue to be published by the Wilfrid Laurier University Press and Les Presses de l’Université Laval. We encourage CTS members to contribute to all of these publications.
NOTE: Fully-paid members of the CTS should have received an email directly from SAGE regarding online access to the journal. If you have not received your access instructions, please check your membership status with the CTS Secretary at < email hidden; JavaScript is required >. Once you have established your username and password with SAGE, you can access the journal directly from the CTS website (see the link on the menu).

Beyond Christendom: New Maps
Dr. Justo L. González
The nineteenth and twentieth centuries have brought momentous changes to the map of Christianity, so that it is no longer possible to speak of Christendom in either geographical or theological terms. How is not only the present reality, but also on the way we look at the entire history of Christianity, reflected in the interpretation of Christianity’s canonical texts? What does the incarnation of Christianity in a wide variety of often conflicting contexts imply for its unity?

A new lectureship made possible by the estate of the late Jay Newman, a long time member and former president of the Canadian Theological Society. He was a prominent Canadian scholar with a keen interest in the philosophy of religion. He authored eleven books, seven relating to religion or the religious life. He was a member of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Guelph from 1971 until his death on June 17, 2007. Professor Newman left a bequest to CTS for the purpose of endowing an annual lecture in the Philosophy of Religion.
