Ad Fontes welcomes submissions of scholarly essays, shorter articles, long-form book reviews, and poetry that engage with the broad tradition of Protestant thought, classical learning, and the liberal arts. Submissions should be sent to p.timmis@davenanttrust.org with “Submission” in the subject line. Please include a brief author bio and abstract with your piece.
Articles for the quarterly issue should be roughly 3-5,000 words of public-facing scholarship. Articles for our rolling Commentary section, which may engage with the quarterly theme or with pressing conversations in church and society, should be roughly 2-3,000 words. Book reviews should both make a timely assessment of the content of an important book, and offer original commentary on the book’s subject matter in 2-3,000 words. All essays should follow Turabian style, but may employ omnibus footnoting at the end of each paragraph.
Our theme for Summer 2026 is “Protestant Faith & the American Republic.” While the Summer issue has been published, we are still accepting shorter pieces (2-3000 words) for our Commentary section.
Our theme for Fall 2026 is “Reformation, Then & Now.” The deadline for submission to the Fall issue is October 1.
