Lexham Journal
Lexham Press has published its own study Bible, Bible dictionary, is working on its own exegetical commentary, etc.
I think it's also time for Lexham Press to publish its own journal.
While the "Lexham Journal" wouldn't totally unseat the Galaxie Journals, JBL, etc, and while I'm still glad I own the Master Journal Bundle, here's what a "Lexham Journal" could offer:
Current, cutting edge scholarship from trusted scholars
Made for the digital age and fully integrated into Logos Bible Software and other Faithlife apps
Affordable for students to get access to current and future editions, also ideal to add into Logos Cloud tiers
A "balanced" range of subjects covered in Bible college and seminary such as: Theology, Old Testament Studies, New Testament Studies, Biblical Language Studies, ministry subjects, missions subjects, and Church History. Basically a student taking just about any college or seminary class could turn to this journal and cite articles in it for papers, bibliographies, etc.
Book reviews by trusted scholars and links to the books in Logos.
While I still love the journals I have access to currently, knowing I could recommend to students a current, academic, trusted journal series covering a wealth of topics would be an excellent addition to my library.
Thanks!

Surprised there hasn't been more supportive comments in relation to the high traffic in favor of this wonderful idea. Come on FL'ers let's plug this idea!

In theory it sounds like a good idea but it would be a case of FL spearding themselves even thinner than they are currently positioned. I‘d like to see them get there current offering of journals right before doing anything like this idea. They are two digital editions behind in bible study magazine which is a part of FL Connect membership. If they can’t keep up with a digital edition of a magazine how are they going to keep up with providing on time a second digital periodical.

That looks really great! Not available to the common folk like me yet, but I'm very much looking forward to it.

Yeah, but for now it's only for Faculty.

The bottom of the page says non-faculty can subscribe for $19.99, "soon".

I guess soon means quite a bit of difference between my head and the rest of the world.

The original post said Lexham needed an Theological journal. Since Didaktikos is only for professors, the need is still there. They do Bible Study Mag, I think a journal/ magazine could be developed in a similar fashion- just with deeper content than the Bible Study mag offers.

I'm guessing Didaktikos happened because a good business case was made for it, possibly centering around the fact that mailing free journal issues to professors is potentially a great way to alert them to Faithlife's existence and subsequently drive sales into the academic market.
A Lexham Theology Journal would also need a good business case--and that case would have to differ in kind from that of Didaktikos.

I support this idea and wish Lexham Press would jump on it. It time they do their own theological journal for the rest of us who are not theological faculty. I love that idea.

Looks great. A fellow alum from my grad school (Regent College), Beth M. Stovell, is on the editorial board, so it's got to be good! [:)]
Now when is it going to be available in Logos format? I'm done with dead tree editions of magazines and journals.

Yea I was mistaken earlier, sorry. I called logos and they said that the first issue wasn't due until February. I have sent an email to find out how to subscribe. Will get back later when I have more.

Isn't that what the Bible Study Magazine is for?

I love BSM but it's not a journal and it's clearly not a theological journal.
