The International Journal of Religion and Sport is a forthcoming refereed publication examining and analyzing the interchanges between world religions, religious practice, spirituality, wellness and global sport. The editors of the journal seek submissions which take seriously the study of religion and sport as well as scholarship investigating notions of sport as religious or spiritual practice. The journal seeks contributions using diverse methodological approaches to religion and sport from a variety of disciplines such as myth and ritual studies, historical studies, popular culture studies, wellness studies, and liturgical studies.

The editors of the journal request original scholarship in English from international contributors in the forms of essays, book reviews, and film reviews. Submissions for consideration as articles should range in length between 4,000 and 8,000 words. Book and film reviews should be less than 1,000 words. The journal will be published twice a year by Mercer University Press and is sponsored by The Centre for the Study of Sport and Spirituality at York St. John University.
