Journal of Early Christian History

The Journal of Early Christian History aims to contribute to scholarship in early Christianity and Byzantine studies by publishing high quality research articles, review articles and book reviews. The journal aspires to approach the field of early Christian and Byzantine studies from new perspectives, welcoming studies incorporating various methodologies, contextual trajectories and interdisciplinary research. The journal especially wishes to promote research in these fields within a South African and wider African context, but not neglecting the international scholarly community. It therefore publishes individually submitted articles, articles resulting from research projects and also conference proceedings.

Journal of Early Christian History is an accredited journal. All articles are subject to evaluation by at least two specialists before the editor grants permission for publication.
