SCJ Membership Rates To Rise

Beginning January 1, 2024 Stone-Campbell Journal membership rates will all rise $10 per year. This increase will make the basic membership $40 per year and student membership $30 per year. Canada and Mexico membership rates will increase from $46 to $56; international will increase to $55 to $65. Members will continue to receive full access to our website that includes a database of over 350 SCJ articles, plus over 2000 book reviews. They also will receive about 15 communication emails each year about upcoming events and more. They may still choose to receive their SCJ in print or electronic form.

Stone-Campbell Journal membership rates have remained at $20, $30, $46, and $55 for basic membership since issue SCJ 8.2 published in Fall, 2005. That was a long time ago. In that time printing rates alone have doubled while our price has remained steady. The total cost to publish the journal, including preparing each journal via copyediting, printing, mailing, and maintaining our website adds to the cost of each issue.

Each Stone-Campbell Journal continues to publish six new, peer-reviewed articles ranging from Stone-Campbell related history or theology, to New Testament, Old Testament, historical and contemporary theology, and current social-cultural analysis.

SCJ is a unique journal that serves those churches and individuals connected to the Stone-Campbell Movement by offering opportunity for presenting and publishing quality Christian scholarship.
