Dear colleagues, please excuse cross-posting. We would appreciate if you 
could circulate this information among your colleagues and librarians.

The Theological Seminary at Adventist International Institute of 
Advanced Studies is proud to announce the publication of the first 
number of volume 9 of the /Journal of Asia Adventist Seminary/ (ISSN 
1908--4862), formerly /Asia Adventist Seminary Studies/ (ISSN 
0119--8432). Over the past ten months of planning and reformulating the 
publishing policies of /JAAS/, significant changes have occurred, 
including the decision to publish two issues per year (instead of only 
one) and, most significantly, the establishment of a rigorous 
peer-review process that will guarantee quality research in the areas of 
biblical and theological studies (including its relevant 
subdisciplines). For this purpose we are delighted that more than thirty 
prominent international scholars have agreed to participate in our 
international review board. These scholars represent a global community 
of biblical scholarship (Africa, North America, South America, Europe, 
and Asia), different areas of expertise, and many renowned universities 
and seminaries (such as New York University [USA], University of 
Wisconsin [USA], Copenhagen Lutheran School of Theology [Denmark], 
Kenyatta University [Kenya], Fribourg University [Switzerland], Andrews 
University [USA], McMaster Divinity College [Canada], Fuller Theological 
Seminary [USA]).

Together with these far-reaching changes in editorial policies we have 
also redesigned both the cover as well as the inside of the journal to 
provide an esthetically appealing product which will speak to an 
international community of students, professors, and pastors in the 
twenty-first century. Each volume will cover c. 100 pages, including 
major articles and shorter research notes, AIIAS thesis and dissertation 
abstracts, as well as a number of critical book reviews.
