About the Journal

Our Mission

This Journal provides room for the making of contextual theology in Africa. It gathers, harnesses and exhibits the thoughts of African scholars and thinkers on different issues of theology and religion.

Life and faith in Africa constitute its primary context. It is a place that one can meet theology produced in Africa; dialogue with it and draw insights from it and pose challenges to it. The theologizing exhibited in our journal is Catholic, ecumenical, missiological, and contextual.

The trend of Christian history today shows that God is doing something great and wonderful for the whole world through the Church in Africa with regard to the growth of faith in Christ. This marvelous deed needs articulation for better comprehension, and communication/sharing for the good of all and the glory of God.

This journal is one of the major ways through which our school, Spiritan International School of Theology, Attakwu, Enugu, Nigeria, established as a seminary and a theological research institute, responds to this need. It uses the context of Africa as a springboard for global theologizing. Its theologizing is at the service of the emergent and fast growing Church in Africa as well as the universal Church.
