> The ***Journal of Parapsychology*** is a biannual peer-reviewed academic journal covering research on psi phenomena, including telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis, as well as human consciousness in general and anomalous experiences. > > It was established in April 1937 by Joseph Banks Rhine (Duke University). It is published by the Rhine Research Center and the current editor-in-chief is Sally Ann Drucker (Rhine Research Center). The journal is abstracted and indexed in PsycINFO. It publishes research reports, theoretical discussions, book reviews, and correspondence, as well as the abstracts of papers presented at the Parapsychological Association's annual meeting. > > According to *Anomalistic Psychology* authored by Chris French, et al, it is "widely recognized as the highest quality journal within the field." > > Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Parapsychology See also: [Eight Decades of Psi Research: Highlights in the *Journal of Parapsychology*](https://parapsych.org/uploaded_files/pdfs/00/00/00/00/90/03_alvarado_highlights.pdf) So it appears that parapsychology is considered relevant enough as a field of investigation to warrant its own peer-reviewed reputable journals. Do Christians acknowledge parapsychology as a legitimate field of investigation, and if so, how does parapsychology fit in a Christian worldview? --- For those who might be interested in philosophical perspectives on parapsychology, see [Is parapsychology a science? - Philosophy Stack Exchange](https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/q/114014/66156)
