Zeal: A Journal for the Liberal Arts is an online, open-access journal with the mission of inspiring and fostering scholarship that supports and advances the liberal arts. The journal specializes in publishing interdisciplinary forums, author-meets-critics book discussions, and less conventional "Provocations & Occasions"—articles that, though worthy of a wide readership, are in one way or another misfits with standard disciplinary journals.

Founded by Villanova University’s Center for Liberal Education in 2007 under the name Expositions: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities, the journal moved to King's College in 2022, at which point it was renamed. Ten King's faculty members currently serve on the editorial board. The journal will appear twice annually.
