BRILL AND SAGE EXCHANGE JOURNALS

July 19, 2007. SAGE acquires Critical Sociology; Brill acquires 
Journal of Pentecostal Theology, Ecclesiology, Journal for the 
Study of the Historical Jesus, and Journal of Moral Philosophy in 
strategic exchange.

Koninklijke Brill NV and SAGE announce today that they have 
exchanged several journal series in order to strengthen core 
areas of their publishing portfolios. From 2008, SAGE will 
publish Critical Sociology, and Brill will publish the Journal of 
Pentecostal Theology, Ecclesiology, Journal for the Study of the 
Historical Jesus, and the Journal of Moral Philosophy.

Brill, a leading international publisher with a significant 
presence in the field of Humanities, has a strong portfolio of 
high quality journals on Religion and Religious Studies, 
including Church History and Religious Culture, Novum 
Testamentum, and Pneuma. In addition, Brill publishes numerous 
academic monographs and reference works in this field.

SAGE, the world's leading independent social science publisher, 
is the market leader in sociology, publishing over 20 key titles 
including Sociological Methods & Research, Work and Occupations, 
and Sociology.

"The acquisition of these four journals fits Brill's successful 
strategy of expanding in well-defined market niches and further 
strengthens our first-class offering in Religious Studies," 
states Brill's Publishing Director for Humanities, Mr Jan-Peter 
Wissink.

"Critical Sociology is an excellent fit with SAGE's vision in 
publishing inspiring, thought-provoking content. SAGE is 
committed to developing the quality and impact of the journals we 
publish, and we look forward to working with the journal" 
commented Stephen Barr, Managing Director, SAGE. He continued,

"Our aim is to be the natural home for authors, editors and 
societies, building strong, long-lasting relationships that 
address their individual priorities and needs. We believe BRILL 
can offer additional development opportunities to Journal of 
Pentecostal Theology, Ecclesiology, Journal for the Study of the 
Historical Jesus, and the Journal of Moral Philosophy, and we 
wish the editorial staff on these titles well in their future 
partnership."
