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.

Statement of Policy
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 setting 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.

Opinions expressed in this journal are not those of the editors or publishers but of the authors.
