This focus is intended to make a significant contribution to the development of academic theological studies, the enhancement of the quality of Christian education, and its impact on the transformation of society. The journal seeks to encourage researchers, academics, and practitioners to produce and publish scholarly works that demonstrate originality and high relevance within the broad field of theological education.
- Within the field of Biblical Studies, the journal welcomes scholarly works that include exegetical and hermeneutical studies of both the Old and New Testaments, as well as the development of biblical theology. Contributions in this category are expected to demonstrate methodological rigor, analytical depth, and meaningful engagement with academic discourse on the interpretation and understanding of Scripture.
- In the area of Systematic Theology, the journal accepts studies covering church history and theological development, dogmatics, Christian ethics, contemporary theology, and interdisciplinary studies that connect theology with other disciplines, particularly within the humanities and social sciences. The primary focus is on producing theological reflections that are conceptual, integrative, and contextual, enabling constructive dialogue between Christian faith and the dynamics of modern life.
- Regarding Christian Education, the journal includes studies on the theological foundations of education, the relationship between Christian doctrine and spiritual formation, and theological perspectives on the aims, curriculum, and ethos of Christian education. Such studies are expected to enrich theological perspectives for educators, Christian educational institutions, and the development of educational theories that are consistent with the Christian faith.
- In the field of Public Theology and Societal Transformation, the journal accommodates research and scholarly studies on missiology, pastoral ministry, social engagement, discipleship, Christian leadership, Christian education, and the vital role of the laity in societal transformation as they serve on the front lines according to their respective callings. Contributions in this category are expected to be not merely descriptive but also analytical and applicative, offering tangible contributions to the development of church ministry practices and the lived faith of Christian communities within society.
The journal accepts contributions from researchers, academics, and practitioners at both national and international levels, fostering broader, more contextual, and diverse scholarly dialogue. With a publication reach that engages the global academic community, the journal aims to enrich cross-cultural theological conversations and make a significant contribution to the advancement of Biblical and theological studies across various contexts worldwide. Submitted manuscripts may take the form of empirical research employing quantitative or qualitative approaches, conceptual and critical studies, exegetical or expository materials, case studies, or other forms of original scholarly thought within the scope of theological research.
