Religion East & West, the journal of the Institute for World Religions, is published every October. Its authors approach religion from a wide variety of perspectives, including doctrine, practice, ethics, history, biography and the relation of religion to other aspects of life. By welcoming voices from many spiritual traditions, the journal furthers the Institute for World Religions’ mission of promoting interfaith understanding and trust.

Religion East & West champions the ideal of scholar-practitioner. Its editorial board seeks to publish articles by authors who are scholars grounded in practice or who are practitioners informed by study and reflection. The journal’s premise is that when scholarship and practice are combined, both are deepened, and that together they will inspire respect and appreciation for the manifold variety of human religiosity.
