Submissions

Pacifica is an ecumenical journal. Articles treating the history or concerns of particular Christian traditions are welcome provided their content can be judged to be of of interest on a wider Christian basis. Use of terminology (e.g., “church”) should reflect this wider concern.

Information for Contributors

In general articles should be between 5,000 and 8,000 words in length, written in a lucid but scholarly style, accessible to a broad, theologically literate audience of scholars, students and pastors.

Manuscripts (two copies, typed and double-spaced) should be sent to The Editor, Pacifica, Jesuit Theological College, 175 Royal Parade. Parkville VIC 3052, and a version emailed to The Editor,
pacifica@pacifica.org.au in either word or pdf format. To preserve as far as possible the objectivity of the review process, authors are asked not to include their names or other identifying material on their manuscripts.

Please guarantee that the manuscript has not been submitted for publication elsewhere. It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that any quoted material does not infringe copyright and that all
requisite permissions have been obtained. Hebrew should also be transliterated and Greek normally so, unless there are special grounds for using Greek font.

Accepted Manuscripts

Following the review process Authors who have been advised that their manuscript has been accepted should forward a final copy of their work via email in word format and conforming to the Authors instructions below. Manuscripts not accepted will be returned only on payment of return postage.

Authors Instructions

The Editor asks that manuscripts conform to the stylistic and bibliographical conventions of this journal. Notes and references will be printed as footnotes and should be typed double-spaced.
References to secondary sources should contain accurate details of publication: author (or editor), place of publication, publishing house, date - and, where relevant - edition. References to articles in journals and essays in multi-author works should cite the full page range occupied by the article or essay as well as the number of the page containing the particular point being referred to.

Along with manuscripts, authors are asked to provide an Abstract, to appear at the head of the article, and also a few autobiographical sentences (current appointment, scholarly interest or specialisation, recent publications, etc.) for the Notes on Contributors page, plus an email address.
