Philosophy of Religion Journals: Rankings, Open Access, and More

22/1/2025

 
The philosophy of religion examines fundamental questions about the nature of religion, the existence of God, and the relationship between faith and reason. This field explores topics such as arguments for and against the existence of a divine being, the nature of religious experience, and the interplay between religion, morality, and science. Journals dedicated to the philosophy of religion publish work that engages with these issues, offering insights from diverse philosophical traditions and perspectives. The PJIP database covers several journals actively publishing papers in this area.

Open Access Philosophy of Religion Journals

A key distinction between academic journals is their open access status.

The PJIP directory can be filtered to show Philosophy of Religion journals in each of these categories.
