WELCOME TO DISKUS
DISKUS is the Journal of the British Association for the Study of Religions (BASR). It is a peer-reviewed journal which welcomes submissions of articles from scholars in the Study of Religions and related disciplines.
DISKUS began life as a pioneering electronic journal available on disk and publishing scholarly articles of a broadly phenomenological character. Principally interested in contemporary religions, it covered a wide range of different religous traditions, in articles written in a lucid and accessible manner so as to be useful to a wide readership of academics, students, teachers and others involved in the academic study of religions. In 1993 it became a web-based journal and part of the Internet Journal of Religion hosted at the University of Marburg. The Executive Committee of the British Association for the Study of Religions is grateful to Professors Brian Bocking, Gavin Flood and Michael Pye, for the establishment and success of DISKUS so far. We aim to further the discussions that DISKUS was created to enable and enrich.
Previous editions of DISKUS (volume 1, 1993, to volume 6, 2000) are available by clicking here [not live yet] to go to the archive or clicking here to go to the Marburg archive.
Until now BASR has published the invited lectures from our annual conference as a series of Occasional Papers. Beginning with the two lectures from our 2005 conference, we will now publish annual lectures in DISKUS.
We will also welcome submissions of articles for consideration by the Executive Committee and expert colleagues as a peer-review panel. Instructions on how to submit articles and on our required style will follow shortly. Please do not submit articles until that information is available here. Thank you.
