I had a theological paper rejected today. Basically it was thought to be too "preliminary" -- or I might say, a
pastiche -- although there sometimes is a place for that. Also, it was thought to be conceptually "false".
OBSERVATION: Yet with regard to the
concept, I trust my instinct. In 2011, I received a response to a paper, about a concept: "Absolutely not." However, in 2013 the same concept was accepted and published as
avant garde, and is now popular. Academics rejected it, academics accepted it.
