Dulia et Latria: submissions


	submissions The following are lists of example topics designed to open the theoretical, practical, and academic venues for investigation into dulia and latria. Although the specific use of the terms dulia and latria is encouraged, by no means do the actual terms have to appear in the writing. What should be present, however, is an emphasis on one or more aspects of God's nature and/or humanity's nature and how such elements relate and have significance. The last three examples of each of the following lists show how such a focus can be maintained even without the specific terms dulia and latria. Submissions addressing one of the following questions, or any question along the same theoretical line of fundamental analysis and definition, will be considered: What is the modern context for dulia and/or latria? Is it ever proper to deny dulia and/or latria? Is either dulia and/or latria restricted to time and space? Are dulia and latria culturally bound? Are dulia and latria dispensed by nature or by revelation? What role does prayer have with respect to a sovereign, omniscient God? What are the flaws, if any, of the modern churches' conceptions of humanity's worth? Is the value of humanity couched in the value of God? Submissions that choose to focus on issues or contexts wherein the practical application of the underlying theory of dulia and latria is manifested are also encouraged. Such submissions would address questions similar to the following examples: How are consumer-oriented churches a correct/incorrect application of latria or dulia? How does dulia or latria function in contemporary Christian music? Is Sunday as 'The Lord's Day' an essential expression of latria? What current approaches to evangelism best express correct dulia? In what ways is the global-missions movement an expression of latria? Is Christian education in America compromising a correct response to God's worth? How can current evangelical techniques be a correct response to God's power? Is the paradigm of church membership a misunderstanding of what pleases God? Submissions are encouraged that take the investigation of dulia and latria into the broad contexts of academic disciplines. The following is a list of feasible topics that provide examples according to which other topics can be fashioned. Latria in Dante's climax of the Paradiso Dulia and latria in Socrates's Apology Dulia and latria in relation to the Crusades The English High-Anglican assumption of latria in the mid 17th century Dulia and latria and the poetry of Richard Crashaw The Greco-Roman concept of Jove Pater vs. the Pauline texts' view of a divine Father God's self-revelatory nature and the writings of the early Quakers The rudiments of Continental Phenomenology and the value of human existence Some publication space of each issue will be reserved for writing that touches upon any aspect of the Christian faith in relation to contemporary or historical, academic or popular contexts. This space is provided in order to accommodate some of the fine work that has already been written and which is worthy for publication. Proposals for essays will be considered and responded to, although completed, full-text work is preferred. Essay proposals should be between 500 - 800 words. Please see the editorial policy webpage for the complete guidelines for submissions of both essays and reviews. The running deadline is 15 January for the late-April issue of each year. Submissions received after 15 January will be considered for the issue of the ensuing year.		homepage journal volumes delmac books submissions editorial policy
