Vol 79, No 1 (2023)

Wim Dreyer Dedication, guest edited by Prof. Jaco Beyers ( 0000-0001-5432-2898). This collection contributes to the journal by honouring the theological legacy of Professor W.A. (Wim) Dreyer through a series of scholarly reflections that highlight his commitment to Reformed ecclesiology and the principle of semper reformanda—the church always reforming. The articles engage with themes such as ecclesial reform, church polity, gender justice, and the emotional well-being of clergy, offering critical insights into the evolving role of the church in contemporary society. By situating these discussions within both historical and current contexts, the collection aligns with this journal’s focus on critical theological scholarship that addresses local, contextual, and international challenges in Christian praxis.

MRCC Centenary Celebration, guest edited by Prof. Matsobane Manala (0000-0002-4302-7073). This collection contributes to the journal by commemorating the centenary of the Maranatha Reformed Church of Christ (MRCC), highlighting its theological journey and societal impact within the South African context. The articles delve into the church's origins, mission theology, leadership dynamics, and educational practices, offering insights into its evolution and resilience over the past century. By engaging with themes of ecclesial reform, community development, and contextual theology, the collection aligns with this journal’s commitment to critical theological scholarship that addresses local, contextual, and international challenges in Christian praxis.

Women Theologies, guest edited by Dr. Sinenhlanhla S. Chisale ( 0000-0001-7227-2206) and Prof. Tanya van Wyk ( 0000-0001-5309-0546). This collection contributes to the journal by amplifying women's theological voices that challenge patriarchal structures and reimagine Christian praxis through gender-conscious, culturally rooted, and justice-oriented lenses. The articles engage with themes such as African women's theology, feminist biblical interpretation, gendered experiences of mourning, and the impact of colonialism and globalisation on women's spiritual lives. By centering women's lived experiences and theological reflections, the collection aligns with this journal’s commitment to critical theological scholarship that addresses local, contextual, and international challenges in Christian praxis..

Orthodox Theology, guest edited by Dr. Daniel Buda ( 0000-0002-1745-2439) and Prof. Jerry Pillay ( 0000-0001-5188-3550). This collection contributes to the journal by engaging with Orthodox theological traditions through scholarly explorations of doctrine, liturgy, education, and historical development. The articles examine topics such as patristic theology, metaphysical models, religious education, and the interplay between tradition and modernity within Orthodox Christianity. By fostering dialogue between Eastern Orthodox thought and contemporary theological discourse, the collection aligns with this journal’s commitment to critical theological scholarship that addresses local, contextual, and international challenges in Christian praxis.

New Perspectives on Applied Humanities and Theology, guest edited by Dr. Mahdi Esmaeilzadeh ( 0000-0002-2426-7637) and Dr. Moradi Mohsen and Dr. Mohammad Ebrahim Hokmabadi. This collection contributes to the journal by bridging applied humanities and theology through interdisciplinary inquiry. The articles explore topics such as the psychological impact of public art and comparative analyses of philosophical concepts like Wang Yangming’s xin (heart-mind) and Husserl’s ego, offering fresh perspectives on human experience and meaning-making. By integrating aesthetic, philosophical, and psychological insights within theological discourse, the collection aligns with this journal's commitment to critical theological scholarship that addresses local, contextual, and international challenges in Christian praxis
