Issues in Systematic Theology

This series emphasizes issues in contemporary systematic theology but is open to theological issues from the past. Works in this series seek to explore such issues as the relation of reason and revelation, experience and doctrine, the meaning of revelation, method in theology, Trinitarian Theology, the doctrine of God, Christology, sacraments and the Church. Of course other issues such as ecumenical relations or specific doctrinal studies on topics such as predestination or studies evaluating particular influential theologians may be considered. Authors whose work is critical, constructive, and ecumenical are encouraged to consider this series. One of the aims of this series is to illustrate that Christian systematic theologians from different denominations may seek and find Christian unity through dialogue on those central issues that unite them in their quest for truth.

Pastoral Theology

This series encourages the theological exploration of Christianity's commitment to action, the relationship between ecclesiology and ethics, and between doctrine and practice. The discussion of the Christian acceptance or rejection of scientific innovation is welcomed, as is the examination of the emerging issues of the twenty-first century, such as genetic screening, gene therapy, insurance and genetics, genetic stigmatisation, cloning, health care and rationing, the reformulation of the just war arguments, and non-lethal weapons. Studies may focus on the reapplication of the Christian tradition to new issues, or may address the contemporary discussion of historical theology but should not be primarily contributions to it.

Studies in Episcopal and Anglican Theology

ISSN: 2168-3891

The Studies in Episcopal and Anglican Theology series endeavors to tap into both established and emerging scholars to engage with theological issues that reflect the breadth of thought in their particular Christian traditions. As we move through the early years of the 21st century, it is clear that there have been numerous theological issues and controversies that have occupied the energy and imagination of members of all Christian denominations, including the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion. Monographs, revised dissertations, and compilations of essays addressing issues of ecumenical and interfaith relations, as well as human sexuality and gender equality, authority of scripture and ecclesial structures, ministry theory and praxis, sacramental theology, and religious foundations for social advocacy are especially appropriate for the series.

Bible and Theology in Africa

"The 20th century made sub-Saharan Africa a Christian continent. This formidable church growth is reflected in a wide range of attempts at contextualizing Christian theology and biblical interpretation in Africa. At a grassroots level ordinary Christians express their faith and read the Bible in ways reflecting their daily situation; at an academic level, theologians and biblical scholars relate the historical traditions and sources of Christianity to the socio- and religio-cultural context of Africa. In response to this, the series Bible and Theology in Africa aims at making African theology and biblical interpretation its subject as well as object, as the concerns of African theologians and biblical interpreters will be voiced and critically analyzed. Both Africans and Western authors are encourgared to consider this series." "The 20th century made sub-Saharan Africa a Christian continent.
