The Mahle Lectures Journal is an archival publication of Hamline University's annual Mahle Lecture established in 2009 by the Stephen and Kathi Austin Mahle Endowed Fund on Progressive Christian Thought. After 15 years of lectures, the establishment of this journal in 2024, as a repository of lived theological reflection, supports the effort of Hamline University toward exploring and articulating contemporary forms of progressive theology and its relationship to the rest of the multi-faith community. Each issue will include a introduction to the theme and central content from the annual events will be published here in order to provide the Hamline community, and beyond theological resources and opportunities to reflect on the place of faith and spirituality in personal, social, political, and economic life.

See the Aims and Scope for a complete coverage of the journal.
