About the Journal

Serious Thinking for a Serious Church

The Hanover Review is a peer-reviewed journal for theology and philosophy, with special emphasis on analytic, Baptist, and confessional theology. Published by Hanover Press, the journal promotes serious thinking for a serious church by retrieving the wisdom of analytic philosophy, the Baptist tradition, and classical Protestantism as articulated in the confessional documents of the Reformed tradition.

The journal promotes the Reformed catholic tradition by confessing what is held in common by the Second London Confession, the Orthodox Creed, the Westminster Confession, the Three Forms of Unity, and the Anglican Formularies—publishing content consistent with the Nicene and Apostles’ Creed and the orthodox Protestant confessional tradition.
