Open Science is an important development in the scientific community because it promotes transparency, reliability, accessibility and use of scientific knowledge. Therefore, scientists should be able to publish their work open access without publication costs for the authors. In doing so, the entire publication process should be in the hands of the academic community, so that only scientific quality counts. The Openjournals platform makes this possible.

Openjournals is part of a broad European movement in which national open access publishing infrastructures are developed and managed. In this way, we facilitate the scientific community to take the publication process into its own hands.

From Bethlehem to the Vatican
A very basic introduction to Catholic tradition and theology
by
Frank G. Bosman
From Bethlehem to the Vatican is written for readers who sense that Christianity matters, yet find themselves without the basic tools to understand it. Religion, as this book argues, is neither a relic nor a simple force for good or evil. It has shaped lives, cultures, and entire civilizations, inspiring care and creativity while also justifying oppression and violence. To grasp Western society – its laws, ethics, art, politics, and stories – one must grasp the Christian narrative that has so profoundly informed it. This book offers a deliberately modest but ambitious response to widespread religious illiteracy in the secularized West. It does not presume prior knowledge, personal faith, or a desire for religious initiation. Instead, it provides an intellectual initiation: a clear, accessible, and academically responsible introduction for those who want to understand Christianity without being overwhelmed by theological jargon or massive scholarly tomes. It explains the Bible, Jesus Christ, Church structures, rituals, sacraments, ethics, and theology, while also addressing Christianity’s darker chapters and ongoing controversies. Written for students, journalists, curious readers, and all who feel they ‘know almost nothing but want to know everything’, From Bethlehem to the Vatican is small in scale but serious in intent. It aims not to convince, but to clarify, and to show why Christianity remains indispensable for understanding the world we inhabit today.

Scriptorium
A scriptorium (/skrɪpˈtɔːriəm/) was a writing room in medieval European monasteries for the copying and illuminating of manuscripts by scribes.

The term has perhaps been over-used—only some monasteries had special rooms set aside for scribes. Often they worked in the monastery library or in their own rooms. Most medieval images of scribing show single figures in well-appointed studies, although these are generally author portraits of well-known authors or translators. Increasingly, lay scribes and illuminators from outside the monastery also assisted the clerical scribes.
By the later Middle Ages secular manuscript workshops were common, and many monasteries bought more books than they produced themselves.
