Fiat Lux accepts article submissions from professors, students, and alumni of any university. We publish writing related to religious life and theology in many forms, including philosophical, political, and sociological studies, exegetical works, notes and book reviews, literary compositions, personal reflections, and interviews both on religion at Yale and religion in general. We are currently accepting submissions for our next issue of Fiat Lux. To submit your work, click here.
Fiat Lux expects to be an intellectual journal full of philosophical, political, and sociological studies, exegetical works, notes and book reviews, literary compositions, personal reflections, and interviews on religion in general and religion at Yale in particular. The magazine, towards the goal of a reasoned exchange of ideas, will publish more intellectual works of philosophy and theology, but its pages will have much content accessible to a more popular readership. This division between academic and popular works, although not hard and fast, informs the word count Fiat Lux expects of submissions. There is no maximum length for submissions, but we are more likely to print articles of philosophy, history, sociology, etc., of 2000-5000 words and exegetical works, notes, book reviews, literary compositions, and personal reflections of 300-1500 words. We especially encourage the submission of 2000-5000 word excerpts from academic talks or larger written arguments. Please refer and cite according to the Chicago Manual of Style. Please use only endnotes, not in-text citations nor footnotes. Please include your name, collegiate affiliation if any, highest degree earned (or year in college), word count, and title on a separate title page. We accept multiple author submissions; please include the above information of all authors. To submit an article, send an electronic copy in Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format to a member of our editorial board. Fiat Lux is a limited distribution print magazine, virtually exclusively distributed on the Yale University campus. Each issue will also be sent to the library of the primary institutionally affiliate of every author published in that issue. By submitting to Fiat Lux you agree that Fiat Lux may print your submission. We will contact you if we would like to publish a shorter version of your article. Aside from our publication, the text belongs to the submitting author. We will accept submissions that have been previously published so long as all owners of the text approve the submission.
