The information age has brought a wealth of knowledge to the fingertips of God’s people. But it has also flooded the world with distortions and misrepresentations. Scholarship at RealApologetics.org bears the mark of honesty and excellence, and a genuine effort to proclaim the truth. All of our scholarly articles meet graduate-level writing standards, and are peer-reviewed by active apologists (RA Representatives).
RealApologetics.org is happy to accept unsolicited manuscripts. They must be 15-150 double-spaced pages in length, turabian citation style, etc. (sample). The author must have met two of the seven following qualifications to be eligible:
- Published books (100+ pages) on RealApologetics.org topics (apologetics, biblical studies, theology, philosophy, or the like).
- Published research (not review) essays in peer-reviewed journals, magazines, or periodicals on RealApologetics.org topics.

Email if you are uncertain about any of this qualifications or what constitutes “relevant topics” or “RealApologetics.org” topics.
While guidelines like these do not guarantee the integrity of the final product, setting high standards do serve as a distinguishing feature of RealApologetics. There is an abundance of poor writing under the guise of “scholarship” that inevitably feeds the minds of today’s church. It is the primary goal of RealApologetics Scholarship to make use of only the best that God’s people can provide.
If you’ve met two of the seven qualifications listed above and you’d like to make a submission, please email here with “scholarship” as the subject, providing a 250 word abstract of your project. In the meantime, be sure to look at our own ministry books, the RealApologetics.org blog, and recommended reading.
