For 14 years, BRIDGES has provided academicians on 4 continents with compelling, topical interdisciplinary conversation. BRIDGES provides a forum for interdisciplinary reflection on themes that share the common focus of values, humaneness, ethics, and meaning. The journal is formally affiliated with Lebanon Valley College of Pennsylvania. Harvard, Cornell, Yale Divinity, Emory University, Southern Methodist University, and Zentralbibliothek Zuerich are among the institutions in England, Switzerland, France, Canada, South America, the Philippines, and the United States that have acquired BRIDGES. CHOICE suggested that BRIDGES is "For undergraduate institutions uncommonly dedicated to mind-stretching." And the Library Journal asserted that "There are so many esoteric, specialized journals, but too few like BRIDGES, which attempt to connect knowledge from diverse disciplines."

This peer-reviewed semiannual academic journal lists among the members of its Editorial Board well-known academicians from Stanford University, University of Toronto, University of Wales, University of Alabama, Catholic Theological Union, and Lewis & Clark College. In addition to 5-8 full-length articles, BRIDGES features a BOOKS OF NOTE section as well as expanded reviews for select works. The journal is indexed and abstracted in The Philosopher's Index (Bowling Green State University), Periodica Islamica, and Religious & Theological Abstracts, and is part of the permanent periodicals collection at the U.S. Library of Congress.
