As a preview of the forthcoming new Journals page, this month's featured links focusses on journals. One of these will be well known to many, Journal of Biblical Literature, which has recently launced an on-line version. The other two will be less well known to many, the Journal of Theology for Southern Africa and Religion and Theology. For these latter two, I have drawn attention to the articles relevant to the New Testament.
Journal of Theology for Southern Africa
The web site of the Journal of Theology for Southern Africa features contents listing and some full-text articles, including several articles that will be of interest to scholars and students of the New Testament. These are listed below.Unfortunately the main site is not easy to navigate and contains many broken links: Issues 3, 9, 11-12, 14, 16-17, 20-25, 27, 30-32, 41, 48-49, 51-69 and 74 are all broken.Nancy R.

Religion and Theology

This covers Volumes 1-4 of the journal (1995-7) before it moved to the Dutch academic publisher Koninklijke Brill NV Leiden from Volume 5. There are contents pages for all four volumes and some full-text reproductions of articles, some of which will be of interest to scholars and students of the New Testament:Johannes C de Klerk, "Situating biblical narrative studies in literary theory and literary approaches", Religion and Theology 4/3 (1997), pp. 186-203

Subsequently there will be restricted access for SBL members only. The format is PDF (requiring the Adobe Acrobat Reader) and the issues available on-line are:
