I'm very excited to post three news items today!
1) Our new website just launched! Check it out!
2) The inaugural issue of Fiat Lux is now available. Check it out in a dining hall near you, or download it off our website.
3) We're running a new contest for our next issue! The topic is "What should the role of religion be in the civil sphere?" As last time, we'll have prizes (as well as publication) for the winners. Enter by April 15 by sending ~500 words to fiatlux@panlists.yale.edu
Our release event will be announced soon, so keep looking!

Author Guidelines
Fiat Lux author guidelines
Fiat Lux is Yale’s new undergraduate journal of religion and theology. Fiat Lux is edited, managed, and administered by Yale undergraduates. We accept article submissions from professors, students, and alumni of other colleges, in addition to from Yale affiliates. We are especially interested in scholarly articles on religious life broadly defined and in pieces discussing religious life at Yale. How can and how does modernity assimilate to religion? Our forum is not only open to proposals for and investigations of religious reform, but also the contentions that occur between the traditional and orthodox interpretations of religions and their co-existence in a sophisticated and dynamic world. We are more likely to publish scholarly works that are somewhat accessible to a non-scholarly audience and that are not highly technical.
Fiat Lux expects to be an intellectual journal full of philosophical, political, and sociological studies, exegetical works, notes and book reviews, literary compositions, personal reflections, and interviews on religion in general and religion at Yale in particular. The magazine, towards the goal of a reasoned exchange of ideas, will publish more intellectual works of philosophy, theology, and religion broadly defined, but its pages will have much content accessible to a more popular readership. This division between academic and popular works, although not hard and fast, informs the word count Fiat Lux expects of submissions. There is no maximum length for submissions, but we are more likely to print articles of philosophy, history, sociology, etc., of 2000-5000 words. We especially encourage the submission of 2000-5000 word excerpts from academic talks or larger written arguments from faculty, or excellent undergraduate or graduate papers. We are more likely to print exegetical works, notes, book reviews, literary compositions, and personal reflections of 300-1500 words.
Please refer and cite according to the Chicago Manual of Style. Please use only endnotes, not in-text citations nor footnotes. Please include your name, collegiate affiliation if any, highest degree earned (or year in college), word count, and title on a separate title page. We accept multiple author submissions; please include the above information of all authors. To submit an article, send an electronic copy in Microsoft Word or Rich Text Format to the Editor-in-Chief (michael.pomeranz@yale.edu).
Fiat Lux is a limited distribution print magazine, virtually exclusively distributed on Yale University’s campus. Each issue will also be sent to the library of the primary institutionally affiliate of every author published in that issue.
By submitting to Fiat Lux you agree that Fiat Lux may print your submission. We will contact you if we would like to publish a shorter version of your article. Aside from our publication, the text belongs to the submitting author. We will accept submissions that have been previously published so long as all owners of the text approve the submission.
