Rejected
2014
Motivation: The journal provided me with external review and gave no specific reasons for rejecting my manuscripts. I suspect that what I received was a generic paragraph sent to all the author whose article suffered the same fate as mine:

'I regret to inform you that the editorial board did not accept your manuscript for publication in Novum Testamentum.

I wish you all the best in your academic endeavours.

Thank you for having considered Novum Testamentum for publication of your research.

Yours sincerely,'

Motivation: The review process was not terribly long but there was no feedback at all on my article. I received no comments from the reviewer, simply an email from the editor saying, "I regret to inform you that the editorial board did not accept your manuscript for publication in Novum Testamentum."

Accepted

Motivation: There was no actual review included in the decision. I was given a generic announcement of acceptance followed by a brief list of typos. I think it'd have been beneficial if the journal provided a slightly more extended feedback to the author as I think that my article would have profited from some suggestions for minor revisions (as is usual in the review process). Otherwise OK.
