Christwatch
Journal is a theological discussion and review
periodical, orthodox in doctrine but open in content, with
editors and readers from differing views on Christianity. The
mission of the Journal and of its publishers is to provide a
place for scholarly discussion of theological issues, where
people of various backgrounds can educate and be educated on a
wide variety of topics.
We invite people who share a belief in Jesus Christ and from
differing beliefs or faiths to share an article or to respond to
any article published. We reserve the right to publish any
article we choose. We also reserve the right to edit as
necessary for grammar, style or space considerations as long as
we do not change the nature of the submitted piece.
Please submit articles to CWJ_Editor@christwatch.com
Please make sure article graphics (if needed) are included and
please submit article as a Microsoft Word document or text file
document. Articles must be sent by the 5th of the quarter to
be sure to make the next quarter Journal.
Articles submitted must meet the following guidelines to be
considered for publication:
1) The work must be original in content
2) We expect a balanced approach to your writing. (Articles
are expected to reflect a scholarly writing style. Do not assume
that all readers will know every aspect of your argument. Thus,
be prepared to address views that are contrary to your own and
provide logical arguments for your views.)
3) All work should be fully documented with citations
provided at the end of the article in MLA format. (This is
non-negotiable, especially for statements of fact. For example,
if you state in your article that ‘Albert Einstein thought the
moon was made of green cheese,’ you better have a citation for
it.)
4) As much as is practical for your article, we expect you to
follow the five basic principles of exegesis:
a. One must exegete lexically – that is, study and
understand the meaning of the words as they were understood and
used by the original author.
b. One must exegete syntactically – that is, understand the
syntax or grammar as it was used and practiced by the author.
c. One must exegete historically – that is, study and
understand the historical background of the original author and
his audience.
d. One must exegete contextually – that is, study the
passage carefully in both its immediate and its remote context.
e. One must exegete harmoniously – that is, the final
interpretation placed upon the passage under consideration must
be in harmony with all other passages of Scripture.

the Greek New Testament (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker)
