Journal Descriptions
The Journal of Psychology and Theology (JPT) is an influential, quarterly peer‑reviewed journal that has been fostering interdisciplinary scholarship since its founding in 1973. Published in association with the Rosemead School of Psychology at Biola University and distributed through SAGE Publications, JPT provides a respected platform for research that integrates psychological theory and empirical findings with Christian theological perspectives. Its mission is to promote deep dialogue between psychology and theology by publishing rigorous empirical studies, theoretical analyses, and applied works that highlight the interrelationships between psychological constructs and theological concepts. Typical topics include spirituality and mental health, developmental processes in religious contexts, the psychological dimensions of religious experience, pastoral counseling, ethical and moral psychology, and contextual applications of integrated insights in educational and ministry settings. The journal’s multidisciplinary editorial board ensures scholarly rigor and broad relevance, making it a vital resource for psychologists, theologians, counselors, educators, and researchers who seek to understand human behavior and wellbeing through both scientific and faith‑based lenses. With its longstanding publication history, JPT continues to contribute to academic discourse that informs clinical practice, curriculum development, and spiritual formation across diverse contexts.
