The Mennonite Quarterly Review

A Quarterly Journal Devoted to Anabaptist-Mennonite History, Thought, Life and Affairs.

Founded by Harold S. Bender and the Mennonite Historical Society and first published in 1926 as a Goshen College Record Review Supplement and then continually since 1927 as The Mennonite Quarterly Review. MQR published articles on the Radical Reformation, Amish, Mennonites and Hutterites refereed by leading scholars in the field. The first issue of the 100th volume of The Mennonite Quarterly Review is the last print issue. Complete issues from 1927 to 1981 are available through the Internet Archive. The complete digital version of MQR 100 no. 1 is posted below.

Announcing: Anabaptist and Mennonite Studies Review.

The Mennonite Quarterly Review and The Conrad Grebel Review will continue their contribution to scholarship by merging to form a new journal. We are pleased to announce that the new combined open-access publication will be called Anabaptist and Mennonite Studies Review. “Review” communicates continuity with CGR and MQR, while “Studies” conveys that this will be a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal. The placement of “Mennonite Studies Review” within the name echoes The Mennonite Quarterly Review’s 100-year history, while expanding into open-access creativity beyond a quarterly publication schedule. The addition of “Anabaptist” broadens the project’s mission, further extending the commitments of both CGR and MQR to interdisciplinary scholarship. The inclusion of “and” between “Anabaptist” and “Mennonite” is intentional, to delineate these as distinctive and connected areas of scholarship rather than one serving as a descriptor of the other. Next steps include design work on a visually appealing logo for AMSR, invitations regarding partnership opportunities in this collaborative publishing project, and ongoing editorial planning.

The editorial team (Jeremy Bergen, Jamie Pitts, Breanna Nickel, and Jo-Ann Brant) continues to welcome submissions at [email protected] until a new process is announced.
