About

The Journal of Praise & Worship is an interdisciplinary, open-access (no APC), peer-reviewed journal. Its purpose is to advance scholarship on the global phenomenon variously known as contemporary worship, praise and worship, and modern worship. Articles are considered throughout the year and released periodically, leading to a fully compiled annual edition.

In addition to the musical forms commonly associated with these terms are the people, networks, and institutions; the multiple practices, materials, and technologies; and the distinct theologies, ideologies, and logics through which Praise & Worship is understood and employed.

The journal publishes research from a variety of methodological and disciplinary approaches, including liturgical studies, religious and theological studies, music studies, media and performance studies, and other related fields.

In addition to the work of the editorial board, the project is led by co-senior editors Dr. Adam Perez (Belmont University), Dr. Marcell Silva Steuernagel (Southern Methodist University), and Dr. Nelson Cowan (Samford University). We are joined by our founding associate editors Dr. Monique Ingalls (Baylor University), Dr. Lester Ruth (Duke University), and Dr. Melanie Ross (Yale University). Bridwell Press and Bridwell Library at Perkins School of Theology (Southern Methodist University) are generously underwriting the project such that JPW will be fully open access without APC for authors.

As a new journal in a burgeoning field of study, the JPW is poised to become a vital hub for interdisciplinary research and discourse.
