In the introductory article, the editor criticized modern biblical scholarship as "a toothless tiger or worse yet, covert apologetics wearing the Esau-mask of criticism" and advocated a return to the "golden era of bold hypotheses and daring reconstructions associated with the great names of F. C. Baur and Tübingen".[2]
During the journal's first decade, it was sponsored by The Theological School at Drew University,[3] where associate editor Darrell J. Doughty taught. The final issue before Doughty's retirement (volume 10, no. 2) appeared in Fall, 2003.[1] It continued for two more issues independently of an institution with volumes 11 and 12, each with two issues before ending.
The journal was revived in March 2018. Vol. 13, no. 1 was published on Robert M. Price's website.[4] Volume 13, nos. 1–4; volume 14, nos. 1, supplement, and 4; volume 15, nos. 1–3; and volume 16, nos. 1–2, were subsequently published and are available for sale at a major online book retailer, as of January 2022.[5]
