About JJMJS
Journal of the Jesus Movement in its Jewish Setting: From the First to the Seventh Century (JJMJS) is a peer-reviewed academic open access journal, published electronically in co-operation with Hebrew University (Jerusalem), University of Oslo (Oslo), and DePaul University (Chicago).
JJMJS is an independent and scholarly journal registered as a non-profit organization in Norway (Org. no. 918437312) and does not represent any particular theological school or religious organization.
The purpose of JJMJS is to advance scholarship on a crucial period in the early history of the Jewish and Christian traditions, from the first to the seventh century, when they developed into what is today known as two world religions, mutually shaping one another as they did so. JJMJS publishes high-quality research on any topic that directly addresses or has implications for the understanding of the inter-relationship and interaction between the Jesus movement and other forms of Judaism, as well as for the processes that led to the formation of Judaism and Christianity as two related but independent religions.
The primary fields of study included in the journal's purview are: Christian Origins, New Testament Studies, Early Jewish Studies (including Philo and Josephus), the Dead Sea Scrolls, Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, Rabbinic Studies, Patristics, History of Ancient Christianity, Reception History, and Archaeology. Methodological diversity and innovation is encouraged.
JJMJS is governed by the editorial committee in accordance with an agreement between its three academic partner institutions. The Editor-in-Chief and the Co-editors are responsible for the academic standard and general direction of the journal.
For further information about the journal, please see the introduction by the co-editors in issue 1 (2014).
