Our improved e-commerce platform lets you manage your membership in the Conference on Christianity & Literature (CCL) 24/7. You will need a username and password to authenticate transactions (not your member number). A secure, third-party credit-card processing site called Cybersource will finalize your purchases, and your credit card statement will reflect a charge from JHUP (Johns Hopkins University Press).

This is my first time purchasing a CCL membership. How do I set up my account online?
You set up your account when you purchase your membership.
Once you select your membership category, click “Add to cart.” You will be taken to the cart page, which displays your selection. Click on “Check out.”
Now you are on the “Log in” screen. Click on “Not a customer? Create an account here” to be taken to the registration screen.
Here you will enter required information and create your username and password. Click on “Register.” Please save your username and password—you will need it to log in to renew your membership or edit your profile online in the future.
Next, follow the step-by-step instructions to check out and place your order.
I forgot my username—how can I retrieve it?
Go to https://ccl.press.jhu.edu/membership/join. Select either the “Log in” or “Profile” tab at the top of the screen, and then click on the “Retrieve username” link. You will be asked to enter the email that is associated with your account—the one you provided when you first registered.
You will receive an email with your username.
Please note that it might take up to two minutes for the message to arrive in your in box.
I forgot my password—how can I reset it?
Go to https://ccl.press.jhu.edu/membership/join. Select either the “Log in” or “Profile” tab at the top of the screen, and then click on the “Reset password” link. You will be asked to enter the username that is associated with your account—the one you provided when you first registered.
A message will be sent to your email address with a new password. Log in with this new password and then go to the “Profile” section to change it to a password of your choosing.
Please note that it might take up to two minutes for the message to arrive in your in box.
I got a message “Email in Use.” What do I do?
This means you have probably already established an account at the Johns Hopkins University Press.
Select the option of either resetting your password or having your username emailed to you. Log in with your username and password. Once authenticated, select “Profile” and you will be able to view and edit your registration information.
How can I contact the dedicated customer service person at JHUP for CCL?
Simply email CCLSupport@jh.edu with "CCL" or "Christianity & Literature" in the subject line to ensure a timely response. You will receive a personal reply from the Customer Service Representative for CCL.

Simply visit https://ccl.press.jhu.edu/membership/join and log in. Select the “Profile” tab at the top of the screen. Here you may edit all the information you entered when registering your account.
I’ve moved—how can I change my shipping address?
Visit https://ccl.press.jhu.edu/membership/join and log in to your account. Select the "Profile" tab, and then select and edit the address to which your journal is delivered—this is your shipping address. (Frequently, it is the first or only address you entered into your profile.)
How can I renew my CCL membership online?
Visit https://ccl.press.jhu.edu/membership/join. Select the “Join/renew” tab at the top of the page, select the membership category you would like to renew, and “Add to cart.” Click “Check out” and then you will be asked to log in.

Can I see all of my membership orders in one place?
Visit https://ccl.press.jhu.edu/membership/join and select the “Order history” tab at the top of the page. This will display any JHU-affiliated association purchases you have made—not just your CCL membership history. You may pay for any orders from the Order History page, as well as print a receipt from this page.
If you never provided an email address with your account, please contact Customer Service at CCLSupport@jh.edu. Your JHUP representative will assist you in reconnecting to your account.
If you recall the email address you used to set up your account, follow these steps:
- Retrieve your username: Go to the log in page at https://ccl.press.jhu.edu/membership/log-in and click the “Retrieve username” link. You will be asked to enter your email address. If your email is currently in our system, your username will be sent to that email address. If we aren't able to locate the email address, you will be asked to try another email.
- Reset your password: Once you've received your username in your email, return to the log in page at https://ccl.press.jhu.edu/membership/log-in. If you don't remember your password, click on the "Reset password" link and follow the prompts to set up a new password.
- Log in to your account: Once you have your username and the correct password, you can return to the log in page above and successfully log in to your account.
You have now identified your JHUP account and can log in 24/7. Please keep your username and password in a safe place for easy reference when logging in.
Please note that it might take up to two minutes for the message to arrive in your in box.
What is the CCL membership period?
The CCL membership runs on a calendar year basis, from January through December of the current year.
How do I obtain a copy of my receipt?
Your receipt is available on screen immediately after you purchase your membership. Simply click on the bottom left "print" button to print a copy. A detailed copy of the receipt will also be sent to the email you have on file. Always check your "spam" folder just to be sure the receipt was not routed there.
If you wish to print a copy of your receipt anytime after your purchase, follow these simple steps:
- Log in to your account at https://ccl.press.jhu.edu/membership/log-in.
- Click on the "Order history" tab at the top of the page. All of your orders will be displayed.
- Click on the "HTML" link for the receipt you are interested in retrieving. This HTML link is displayed in the far right column alongside the product you purchased.
- Save and/or print your receipt.
Can I automatically renew my membership?
Yes! Now you can select "Auto renew" at checkout in the shopping cart.
Simply select the membership you are renewing and add it to the cart. Proceed to checkout and check the box marked "Auto renew." Your payment information will be encrypted, not stored, and your membership will be renewed each year at the current rate until you email Customer Service at CCLSupport@jh.edu and notify us that you would like to stop automatic renewals.
If you select automatic renewals, you will no longer receive printed or emailed renewal notices, and your membership benefits will continue uninterrupted as long as we are able to process your credit card payment. We will send email notification before your card is charged for each automatic renewal.
