About

African Christian Theology (print ISSN:  3006-1768; online ISSN:  3007-1771) is the academic journal of the Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA).  The journal is fully open access.

The journal accepts and publishes content in English, French, and Portuguese.   Thus all three titles — African Christian Theology [English], Théologie Chrétienne Africaine [French], and Teologia Cristã Africana [Portuguese] — are used in the pages of the journal and on the journal’s website.  All three titles are registered with ISSN.

The mission of ACTEA is to strengthen theological education through accreditation, scholarship, and support services to serve the church and transform society.  The journal is one way in which ACTEA engages theological educators and church leaders in addressing relevant issues facing the church and society in Africa.  African Christian Theology serves the whole of Africa and provides a venue for conversations between different regions of Africa, as well as an organ through which African voices can address World Christianity at large.  Following in the footsteps of theologians such as Kwame Bediako, Byang Kato, Kä Mana, Lamin Sanneh, Andrew F. Walls, and Isaac Zokoué, the journal promotes World Christianity perspectives through deep engagement with African contextual realities.  Articles are published in one of three languages — English, French, or Portuguese; each article has a trilingual abstract in those languages.  The journal also publishes short “booknote” book reviews and longer critical book review essays.
