About
In a day when interest in the historic doctrines and polity of Presbyterianism are growing, The Confessional Presbyterian journal was founded to provide a forum for ecumenical discussion amongst conservative Presbyterians of different denominations, wishing to promote greater understanding of these old standards of biblical Christianity. The Confessional Presbyterian journal is an annual publication and our goal for each volume is to publish a range of theological, practical and historical material, supportive of the Westminster Standards, while allowing for courteous discussion where disagreements may exist.
In addition to important and interesting historical work, the journal has published important articles in the realm of theological polemics, ground-breaking work on the manuscripts and documents of the Westminster Assembly, as well as substantial and illuminating material on Presbyterian polity and worship. If you would like to submit an article or review for consideration for publication, please investigate our requirements outlined on the Submissions page.
Frequency: Once annually by the end of each year. Format: 7.5″x10.5″ double column text. Each issue is usually between 200 and 300 pages in length.
