Encounter is a peer-reviewed journal to ensure that its contents meet the highest standards of scholarship and relevance. In particular, the journal publishes works in biblical studies, the history of Christianity, theology, and the arts of ministry, including counseling.

Encounter is indexed in ATLA Religion Database, available full-text in ATLA Serials, and continues to enjoy a substantial print circulation among individuals and theological schools in the United States and abroad.
