About the Journal

Journal "Ceļš" (The Way) is published by University of Latvia once a year with papers in both Latvian and English. It is a peer-reviewed (based on initial editor screening and double-blind refereeing by two specialist referees) interdisciplinary journal of the University of Latvia. The journal is continuously published to deepen the readers' knowledge about theology and religious studies and related historical and present processes.
