Socio-Historical Examination of Religion and Ministry (SHERM) Details
Socio-Historical Examination of Religion and Ministry (SHERM Journal) is a not-for-profit, free peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes the latest social-scientific, historiographic, and ecclesiastic research on religious institutions and their ministerial practices. SHERM is dedicated to the critical and scholarly inquiry of historical and contemporary religious phenomena, both from within particular religious traditions and across cultural boundaries, so as to inform the broader socio-historical analysis of religion and its related fields of study. The purpose of SHERM is to provide a scholarly medium for the social-scientific study of religion where specialists can publish advanced studies on religious trends, theologies, rituals, philosophies, cultural influences, and applied ministry research in the hopes of generating enthusiasm for the vocational and academic study of religion while fostering collegiality among religious specialists. Its mission is to provide academics, professionals, and nonspecialists with critical reflections and evidence-based insights into religion and ministry.SHERM is a division of the non-profit organization, FaithX Project (a religiously affiliated institute), and therefore, receives endowments from the association to maintain a significant presence within academia and the broader faith community. Nonetheless, SHERM is overseen by an independent, religiously unaffiliated Editorial Advisory Board to ensure the content of the published articles meet stringent standards of critical scholarship uninfluenced by theological or ideological allegiances.In partnership with the FaithX Project, SHERM is a full open access, free peer-reviewed academic journal, which means it publishes and publicly makes available religious and ministry research without charging subscription dues or publishing fees. SHERM believes in making high-quality scholarship on the social-scientific study of religion accessible to the public.
