Parabola
is a quarterly journal that explores the quest for meaning as it is expressed
in the world’s myths, symbols, and religious traditions, with particular
emphasis on the relationship between this store of wisdom and our modern life.
Their guidelines say, “We look for lively, penetrating material unencumbered by
jargon or academic argument. We prefer well-researched, objective, and
unsentimental pieces that are grounded in one or more religious or cultural tradition;
articles that focus on dreams, visions, or other very personal experiences are
unlikely to be accepted.” They publish articles (1,000-3,000 words), book
reviews (500 words), retellings of traditional stories (500-1,500 words), forum
contributions (up to 500 words), and poetry (up to 5 poems). The theme for
their upcoming Spring 2023 issue is ‘Transformation’.
