Intégrité is a scholarly journal published biannually by the Faith and
Learning Committee and the Humanities Division at Missouri Baptist University
in St. Louis, Missouri. Published both online and in
print, it welcomes essays for a special issue (Fall 2021) on “Cormac McCarthy
and Theology.”
Essays may explore the intersection of Christian theology and
Cormac McCarthy’s life, creative writing and its literary adaptation.

For this issue the journal also welcomes brief reviews of scholarly
books published since 2010 that explore topics related to Christian theology,
Cormac McCarthy, and pedagogy. Additionally, the journal is interested in
poetry inspired by Cormac McCarthy’s literary art.
