The Teologiai Fórum, the scientific journal of the Faculty of Reformed Theology of Selye János University, publishes scholarly articles from all fields of theology. These articles are subject to a double-blind peer review process. Until 23023, the Calvin John Theological Academy (CJTA) functioned as the publisher of the Teologiai Fórum. The Scientific Institute of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia was responsible for the subscription to the journal and the management of all the tasks involved in publishing and maintaining a scientific journal. From 2024, the Faculty of Reformed Theology of Selye János University will assume the role of publisher. CJTA has provided multifaceted support to the Faculty of Reformed Theology for twenty years, including the organisation of joint conferences, scientific publications, volumes of studies and monographs. For two decades, the Faculty of Theology has been carrying out its work with the professional support of CJTA, and this recent decision is indicative of a strengthening of the Faculty. The Faculty of Reformed Theology of Selye János University has been given an academic journal that is already well established and known in the profession, and which has already published its 17th previous volume. Continuity of rights is given, and the administrative change does not affect our authors or our readers.
The journal is a publication vehicle for scientific papers, articles and book reviews, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary studies. A significant proportion of the articles are published in foreign languages, thus ensuring accessibility to a broad international readership. Each paper is accompanied by an English abstract and a minimum of five keywords in English. The journal’s structure is organised into distinct sections, including studies and articles, books and reviews, which are grouped by discipline.
The journal’s scope encompasses academic works in the foundational domains of theology, including biblical theology, dogmatics, ethics, liturgy, patristics, catechesis, philosophy of religion, church history, church music, hymnology, deaconry, and social work. It also provides a forum for high-quality interdisciplinary studies. In accordance with the established practices of other distinguished publications, a dedicated section is allocated for book reviews, thereby facilitating the dissemination of significant recent advancements in the domains of theology and church history. The Ethical guidelines of the Journal, in conjunction with the collaborative efforts of editors, authors and proof-readers, are founded on the principles of transparency, independence and credibility. Submitted manuscripts are subjected to a double-blind peer review process. The Teologia Fórum does not levy any fees from authors, yet it does not remunerate authors for the publication of their articles. The journal does not generate revenue through advertising or subscription fees. The journal’s publications are possible to submit in English, German, Hungarian, Slovakian and Czech.
