The Bulletin of the Boston Theological Institute, ISSN 1538-6597, was founded in the Fall of 2001 by Marian Gh. Simion. Its chief objective is to draw attention to the past and future activities of the schools and their faculties. The Bulletin is published once a semester, in September and January, pointing to current events in the schools, new faculty publications, articles, announcements, issues in international mission and ecumenical relationships, as well as aspects in the interrelationship between science and religion.
