Marginalia Review of Books, a channel of the Los Angeles Review of Books is an "international, open-access review of literature and culture at the nexus of history, theology, religion, and the arts." Published online every two weeks, Marginalia is largely written and edited by humanities and social science scholars and features art, film, and book reviews, essays, interviews, and fiction. Visitors can browse all current and previously published material by these categories. In addition, this online magazine features an extensive series of essays relating to religious texts, which can be found under the Sections tab. One recently published piece is a lyrical essay by Carla Baricz that weaves together her childhood in Romania, her fear of earthquakes, and the role of books in her family history. In another recently published essay, religious studies graduate scholar Ed Simon writes about the moralist, Pelagius. In addition, visitors can listen to a number of recorded interviews with the magazine's First Impression series, available (along with written interviews) under the Interview tab. The most recent First Impression features an interview with Religious Studies scholar Birgit Meyer about the relationship between Christianity and filmmaking in Ghana.
