Religion in the Age of Enlightenment (RAE) publishes scholarly examinations of (1) religion and religious attitudes and practices during the age of Enlightenment; (2) the impact of the Enlightenment on religion, religious thought, and religious experience; and (3) the ways religion informed Enlightenment ideas and values, from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including, but not limited to, history, theology, literature, philosophy, the social and physical sciences, economics, and the law.
While the Enlightenment generally refers to an eighteenth-century philosophical and cultural movement that swept through Western Europe, the editors welcome studies that encompass the seventeenth-century intellectual movements that gave rise to the ideals of the Enlightenment—e.g., materialism, skepticism, rationalism, and empiricism—as well as studies that consider later manifestations of Enlightenment ideas and values during the early nineteenth century. The editors likewise welcome studies of non-Western religious topics and issues in light of Enlightenment attitudes. In addition to publishing original research in these areas, RAE includes reviews of books that explore topics relevant to the thematic scope of the annual.

Submission Guidelines
Submissions should be aimed at an audience of professional scholars, educated laypersons, advanced undergraduates, and graduate students from a variety of disciplines. Contributors should thus avoid highly specialized language. The suggested length for manuscripts is 7,000–10,000 words, though shorter and longer articles will also be considered. Submissions should adhere to the guidelines of the most recent edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. Both email and hardcopy submissions are welcome. Contributors should include a cover memo that includes the contributor’s name and essay title, in addition to two copies or an attachment of the essay in Microsoft Word with the author’s name and other identifying references removed. References should be given as footnotes, rather than endnotes, and should follow the conventions described in The Chicago Manual of Style for documentation provided in notes alone, without a bibliography. (For an introduction to this distinction, see section 16.3 of the fifteenth edition of Chicago.)
