About the Journal
Hierophany: Journal of Islamic Religious Education is a peer-reviewed international journal published by Lia Center of Research and Education (Lia CORE).

It aims to contribute to the advancement of Islamic religious education as a field of study by promoting research that is theoretically grounded, methodologically rigorous, and contextually relevant.
The journal focuses on how Islamic educational values, beliefs, and pedagogical practices are conceptualized, implemented, and transformed across formal, non-formal, and informal educational environments. Particular attention is given to teaching and learning processes, curriculum development, teacher education, assessment, and educational policy in Islamic religious education, as well as their engagement with contemporary challenges such as globalization, digital transformation, and multicultural societies.

While studies from Muslim-majority contexts are strongly represented, the journal also welcomes international and cross-cultural research that contributes to broader theoretical and empirical understandings of religious education.
