Renovatio: A New Journal from Zaytuna College

An introduction to Renovatio

Renovatio is a Muslim journal about the ideas that shape the modern world. We ask scholars, theologians, and writers to examine perennial questions and today’s moral challenges by drawing from the enduring texts of revelatory faith traditions and current thinking from philosophy, theology, and ethics to history, politics, the social sciences, and beyond.

We publish essays that are both rigorous and readable so that anyone, no matter his or her intellectual interests, can weigh and consider, and accept or reject, the ideas we present. With its focus on writers, readers, and ideas, we see Renovatio as a bridge between religious traditions and the study of the world, believing that each can renew the other—and between scholars and the public.
