"A journal is only as serious as the people who agree to be responsible for it. We now have five."
Jose Manuel R. Empleo, Founder & Editor-in-Chief

Every publication begins as an idea, but it becomes a journal only when other people agree to stand behind it — to read what arrives, to argue about what is good enough, and to put their names to the decision. That step has now been taken. The Revue Intl. de Théologie et des Lettres is pleased to announce that its editorial team has been officially formed.

The team is small by design. Five people hold five distinct responsibilities, spanning editorial direction, line editing, day-to-day production, and the press and public-facing side of the Revue's work. Each is named below, along with the publication timeline their appointment now makes possible.

II. The Publication Timeline

The Road to Issue Cycle I

Release of Issue Cycle I
"We would rather open on time with a small, well-edited issue than open early with a large, uneven one."

III. Editorial Commentary

A Note from the Founder

I started this Revue on the conviction that Christian letters deserve editors who take both the faith and the writing seriously, and for a while that conviction had to be enough on its own. It no longer has to be. Anna, Joncris, Anya, and Raine have agreed to build this with me, and each brings something I could not supply alone: a second careful reader, a steady production hand, and a press office that can speak for the Revue when I should not be the one speaking.

None of this changes what we are trying to do. It only means we can now do it properly, on a schedule readers can rely on, with more than one set of eyes on every page.
