In addition to the open-access format, Eisenbrauns publishes hardcopies of each issue (order here). The journal publishes one issue per year.
The journal aims, uniquely, to advance scholarship on this crucial period in the early history of the Jewish and Christian traditions 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 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 was initiated by Dr. Eliyahu Lizorkin-Eyzenberg and JJMJS’s Managing Editor Knut H. Høyland, and developed in co-operation with the co-editors, who are responsible for the academic standard and general direction of the journal. JJMJS is governed by the editorial committee. JJMJS is an independent and scholarly journal and does not represent any particular theological school or religious organization.
