We are delighted to announce the winner of our prize “Diversifying analytic theology,” sponsored by the APA’s Diversity and Inclusiveness fund. The aim of this prize competition was to encourage work in analytic theology of underrepresented philosophical or religious traditions. With “underrepresented” we mean works outside of traditional forms of orthodox Christianity. The submissions underwent a rigorous review process by a board of four anonymous reviewers who have specializations in various lesser taught philosophical or religious traditions. They unanimously agreed on the winner, as well as on three runners-up. All four papers will appear in a special issue of the Journal of Analytic Theology.
The winner of the competition, and recipient of the $500 cash prize is Julianne Chung, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Louisville, for her paper “Apophatic Language, the Aesthetic, and the Sensus Divinitatis”.
The runners up for the prize are the following:
- – Salvific Luck in Islamic in Islamic Theology, by Scott Davison and Amir Saemi
- – Sider’s Puzzle and the Mormon Afterlife, by Taylor-Grey Miller and Derek Haderlie
- – “I Am the Gracious Goddess” (Wiccan Analytic Theology), by Jonathan Hill.
We congratulate the winner as well as the runners up, and we are grateful to everyone who competed. The number of submissions meant this was highly competitive, and we are excited for such a diverse set of theological traditions to be represented in the special issue.
