Introducing Martyria (and Farewell to The Heretic)

The University of St Andrews School of Divinity is pleased to announce the launch of Martyria, a new student journal welcoming submissions from undergraduates, recent graduates, and early postgraduates for inclusion in its annual peer-reviewed issue.

This bittersweet occasion coincides with the official closure of The Heretic. The Spring 2023 issue was the journal’s final publication.

The new journal’s name derives from the Ancient Greek μαρτυρία (martyria), meaning testimony, witness, or evidence. This reflects the School of Divinity’s renewed commitment to studying Divinity within a modern, non-sectarian university through both historical retrieval and constructive theology. Martyria continues the School’s commitment to showcasing excellent student scholarship and providing a supportive, peer-reviewed platform for emerging researchers.

We now invite submissions via our new journal website:

Blessings,
