CrossCurrents is a quarterlypeer-reviewedacademic journal published by theAssociation for Public Religion and Intellectual Life.[1] Theeditor-in-chief is S. Brent Rodriguez-Plate ofHamilton College. Before 1990, it was published by Cross Currents Corporation, under co-editors William Birmingham and Joseph Cunneen.[2] They transferred publication to the association in 1990.[1]
The journal began with the vision of Joseph Cunneen, aCatholic soldier inGeneral Patton's army. Taking advantage of theG.I. Bill afterWorld War II, Cunneen wanted to bring European religious thinking to the United States. As a result, the journal became committed to post-Holocaust theology andJewish-Christian relations.[3]
Over time, it expanded to encompass multiple religious traditions, includingIslam,Buddhism,Hinduism,Native American religions, and otherindigenous religions. Moreover, it remained dedicated to issues ofsocial justice, publishingfeminist theology in the 1960s, particularly the work ofRosemary Radford Ruether andElisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, as well asBlack theology in the 1970s, notably that ofJames H. Cone. Additionally, it was among the pioneering English-language journals to publish works on Latin Americanliberation theology movement.[citation needed] Work in the journal is supplemented by an online magazine,The Commons.
