About the journal

Aim

The Journal of Economics, Theology and Religion (JETR) is an online and open access academic journal (ISSN 2772-9001).

It aims to be an independent, international, and interreligious platform for interdisciplinary debate.

It seeks to bring together economists, theologians and scholars in religious studies, by publishing peer-reviewed original research. Our hope is to find intersections, create dialogues, and offer new interdisciplinary insights and perspectives.
