ToursExplore Lably’s 3D toursOver its more than three decades of publication, the journal has addressed theological, philosophical, and cultural themes in Vaishnavism, often through thematic issues. Its Spring 2012 issue was reviewed in the Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies, where it was described as “a fine volume of interfaith reflection that covers fifteen years of Vaishnava/Christian dialogue, most of which has taken place at an annual conference at Rockwood Manor in Potomac, Maryland.” In 2024, the journal expanded its reach by launching a digital platform, providing online access to its archive and forthcoming issues.
