The Numa Verse Journal.
The Journal publishes articles drawn from the fields of study in the Numa Verse standard. Each article names its author and its reviewer, cites every source with its address, and states only what can be verified today. Articles are grouped by field, so a reader can follow one subject from its foundations to its open questions.

How are Journal articles written?
Each article starts from a topic in the standard and the published scholarship behind it. A named author writes it, and a reviewer in the field checks it against its sources before it is published. Articles report what is known and where scholars disagree. They do not forecast or speculate.
Who writes them?
Contributors to the standard: theologians, scholars, pastors and students, each writing in their own field. Every article carries the author’s name and credentials, and the name of the reviewer who checked it.
How are they reviewed?
The same way as the standard. A reviewer in the field checks each article against its cited sources before it is published. If an error is found later, the article is corrected and the correction is dated.
Can I suggest a topic?
Yes. Send it through the corrections and suggestions form on The Standard page. Suggestions go to the contributors who work in that field.
