Manuscript Editing for New Testament Studies Journal Articles
New Testament Studies publishes original articles and short studies on the origins, history, context, and theology of the New Testament and early Christianity. It is the journal of the Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas. Cambridge University Press publishes it, and its editor is at Yale Divinity School.
Articles and short studies normally run no more than 8,500 words, footnotes included. Citations follow the journal's house style in short numbered footnotes, full at first citation and shortened by title after, with no op. cit. Biblical references take the form Gen 2.4–8. Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, and Coptic may appear in their original scripts in Unicode fonts. The abstract runs up to 250 words, with five to ten keywords. Articles are accepted in English, German, or French, and UK spelling with -ise is preferred. Review is double-anonymized. Off the Grid Editing applies the house style and edits English-language manuscripts in British spelling. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for New Testament Studies
We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.
Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.
Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.
Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to New Testament Studies.
Cambridge's author instructions cover length, footnotes, and scripts. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.
See journal article and essay editing for how we edit biblical scholarship, and academic proofreading for the last read before submission. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Cambridge University Press manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for the Journal of Biblical Literature and the Journal for the Study of the New Testament.
