Perspectivas is the online peer-reviewed bilingual subscription journal of the Hispanic Theological Initiative (HTI). It features the contributions of Latina/o scholars in theology and religion and serves as a critical resource to stimulate further dialogue and research in theological and religious education. We seek articles that are well-researched, critical, and integral to who we are as Latinas/os.
Perspectivas has become a vehicle to reach a broad audience, including faculty and students, as well as a growing number of churches and other community organizations across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. We expect articles to be academically sound, as well as readable by these broad and diverse audiences.
Perspectivas will conduct double blind peer reviews and will require a minimum of two peer reviews for all articles to be accepted._________________________________________

The journal Perspectivas is now accepting submissions year-round. Prospective contributors are encouraged to submit original work on any topic related to Latinx theology, religious thought and traditions, history, biblical studies, or ministry. We are particularly interested in submissions that draw from multiple disciplines (e.g. anthropology, philosophy, sociology, history, literature, political science, cultural and race studies, etc.) and are written from liberationist, decolonial and/or postcolonial perspectives. In the spirit of producing knowledge and doing teología en conjunto, we also welcome the submission of collaborative essays. We encourage contributors to be creative and innovative in their writing.
