Journal of the Henry Martyn Institute is a biannual scholarly [10] journal published by Henry Martyn Institute, Hyderabad, India on disciplines encompassing religion, culture and interfaith relations and could be found in nearly 100 [4] libraries worldwide. It promotes inter-religious understanding with a special focus on the study of Islam. [5]
The Journal of the Henry Martyn Institute traces its beginnings to the year 1911, [9] when it appeared as News and Notes. [9] Subsequently, in the year 1941, [1] it became known as The Bulletin of Christian Institutes of Islamic Studies and by 1960, [2] the title was once again changed to Bulletin of the Henry Martyn Institute of Islamic Studies. Then in the year 1972, it was changed to Al-Basheer: A Bulletin of Christian Institutes of Islamic Studies, which retained the title until 1976. [2] Again from the year 1978 [2] [4] onwards, it reverted its title to Bulletin of the Henry Martyn Institute of Islamic Studies. [6] [11] Finally, since 1998, [5] it took the name as Journal of the Henry Martyn Institute, which stands good till date. During mid-nineties, the publishers provided a trail of the journal under various names. [12] Similarly, an external researcher, Binod Peter Senapati provided a brief note on constant name changes of the journal. [2]
The journal is indexed by Atla Religion Database, Ulrich's International Periodical Directory, Periodica Islamica, and Guide to Indian Periodical Literature. [13] In the year 1998, the publisher made some attempts to list out articles that appeared in its journal from 1942 through 1986. [14]
A four-member editorial team of learned Scholars edits the journal, [13]
