The Christian Libertarian Review (CLR) is an open access academic publication (licensed by Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0) founded in 2017 by the 501(c)(3) Libertarian Christian Institute (LCI). Users have the right to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of articles in the CLR, and to use them in any other lawful way. The purpose of the CLR is to foster intellectual dialogue, exploration, and research surrounding the relationship between Christianity and libertarian thought. As a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary journal, contributions may span into fields of philosophy, political philosophy, theology, ethics, law, economics, anthropology, history, social studies and similar disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
CLR is blind-reviewed by a team of scholars with terminal degrees in their respective fields. Each annual volume contains full-length articles and critical book reviews and review articles. Some accepted articles/reviews may be published online prior to the release date of the volume in which they appear. Contributors come from a wide variety of backgrounds and typically have graduate education and/or professional experience in the business world. The journal publishes contributions primarily by those who identify as “Christian” and “libertarian,” and occasionally by agnostic/atheists/irreligious persons with research contributions relevant to the journal. The intended reader audience is generally upper-class undergraduate or graduate level.
