About the Journal

African Journal of Contextual Theology (AJCT) is published annually by the Spiritan International School of Theology (SIST), Attakwu- Enugu, Nigeria. It is one of the means through which SIST contributes to the dialogue between the Gospel and the cultures of different peoples. Through a uniquely systematic thought pattern, its aim is to use the experiences of peoples in their political, socio-economic and religious contexts as a source for theology, and to make theology an interpretative framework for cultural practices and experiences. It hopes through this means to accompany individuals and religious communities in their journey of faith through life.

The theme of every edition is advertised in SIST website – www.sistenugu.com – six months before publication. The seat of the journal is Africa but its studies are designed to represent contextual theology done either in Africa or in any part of the world. Since SIST is missiological and contextual in orientation, this journal basically combines theological and pastoral reflections. It presents ideas from different areas of theology – Bible, Christology, Pneumatology, Ethics, Missiology, Anthropology, Spirituality, Canon law, Church History – in a way that form a logical synthesis.
