ASM Scholarly Monograph Series

The American Society of Missiology publishes a series for distinguished dissertations in missiology and in related fields of missiological interest. In its initial years the series was co-published with the University Press of America, and from 2006 onward it is being co-published with Wipf & Stock Publishers.

The ASM Scholarly Monograph Series makes more widely available quality scholarly work relating to the area of world mission. The Series welcomes submissions of doctoral dissertations completed in the last five years at universities and theological institutions in North America and around the world. The dissertations must be in English.

Persons wishing their dissertations to be considered for the Series must first submit an abstract, table of contents, and a letter explaining the relevance and importance of the study to the ASM Scholarly Monograph Series Editorial Committee Chair, Michael Rynkiewich. If the topic is deemed of interest and appropriate, the Chair will request three hard (i.e., printed, not electronic) copies of the dissertation, one to each member of the Committee. These will not be returned. Members of the Series Committee, who may request assistance from expert readers on specialized topics, judge the dissertations. Every effort will be made to make a decision on the publication on the dissertation within three months.

The ASM Scholarly Monograph Series [formerly ASM Dissertation Series] has produced these volumes to date:
