OC’s Graduate School of Theology publishes annual academic journal
Volume four of Dialogismos contains works from OC Bible professors and students.
Each year, Oklahoma Christian University’s Graduate School of Theology publishes Dialogismos, an academic e-journal. The e-journal is peer-reviewed, open-access, and contains work from OC professors, graduate students and theologians from multiple states and countries.
Dialogismos’ mission is to initiate and advance dialogue on biblical and theological study topics. The journal also allows scholars to negotiate different points of view.
OC alumnus and Resident Director Jake Doberenz is featured in volume four of the journal. He reflected on his inclusion in the journal:
“I was very honored to be included in the journal,” Doberenz said. “As far as my academic career, it's nice to add this to a resume. Dialogismos has included many astute world-class Biblical scholars, so it's very exciting to be listed among them.”
The fourth volume of the journal included a variety of content:
