About the Journal

Aims

AЯGOS is a multilingual online journal for the study of religion that seeks to build bridges between Europe’s distinct academic cultures. AЯGOS will publish original, peer-reviewed papers in English, German, French, and Italian. These will present, comment upon, and further develop established and contemporary perspectives in the study of religions. AЯGOS also aims to bring current approaches in the study of religions and cognate disciplines into conversation with one another. Historical and empirical studies are expected to have strong theoretical underpinnings. 

Translations

AЯGOS will also include translations of previously published key texts that can provide valuable theoretical and methodological impetus to debates in the study of religion. Each of these translations will be accompanied by an introduction and a substantial commentary highlighting its relevance for the international community of scholars of religion.

Book reviews

To further AЯGOS’ fundamental aim of making important scholarly work known beyond its original context, the journal will include reviews of books published in various European languages. However, we limit the selection of books to be reviewed to open-access works.

Open access
