Vol. 1 No. 1 (2020)
Welcome to AGORA! This is a scholarly journal of philosophical and theological studies of St Albert the Great Major Seminary Idowu-Offonran, Abeokuta, Nigeria. AGORA Journal is the newest intellectual and institutional journal in the South-Western Nigeria. An eloquent testimony to the structural ground breaking, intellectual innovation, industry and commitment on the part of the Seminary, the Rector- Very Rev Fr Anselm Ekhelar, Ph.D., the editors, the contributors and the professorial consultants.
Coincidentally, AGORA Journal (AGORA-J) is hitting the academic world during this era of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), without a page on it. However, no worries!! Covid-19 revolution is duly reflected upon and covered in its “new normal” in SAGS-Series, an immediate publication following this journal.
This AGORA-J maiden edition contains eleven well researched articles, the product of a long process of screening and expert review by internationally reputed Assessors and Consultants. Based on the objectives, there are included in it seven (7) philosophical articles, three (3) theological articles, and one (1) article in psycho-social spirituality. These are well- written articles, their logic is easy to grasp and very interesting to read.
I thank all our editorial board members, editorial consultants, our contributors, the consulting publisher, and you our patrons for making this a reality. While promising more oracular issues subsequently, I invite you to share in the meal of knowledge herein, and feel free to provide us with feedbacks on the way forward. Thank you for sharing in this intellectual exercise even as you are a reader.
