Index

This index to Rural Theology and its predecessor A Better Country is a work in progress, growing from the most recent issue backwards in time. The index is therefore unusual in that works by the same author are cited in reverse order by year. At the moment, journals are now completely indexed from 1993 to date. Please note that journals from 2010 onwards (i.e. RT 8(1)) are not available on this website, and can only be found by accessing the publisher's website at www.equinoxpub.com.
Citations after mid-2003 are in the form RT 7(1), i.e. Rural Theology Volume 7 Part 1. Citations before mid-2003 are in the form RT 58, i.e. Rural Theology Issue 58. Citations of A Better Country are in the form ABC 9.
