Focus & Scope

The Journal of Theology for Southern Africa is published from the School of Religion, Philosophy and Classics at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. It is an important theological journal in the subcontinent.

JTSA has been published continuously since December 1972 as a vehicle to promote theological reflection within the social, political and cultural context of southern Africa.Initially it was published four times a year, but this has been reduced to three times – and it has not missed a deadline for over thirty years!

Over the years articles covering a range of issues and themes such as hermeneutics, public theology, inculturation, liberation theologies, African theology, development, feminism; all of which are directly related to the witness of the church in both Africa and the world have been published.

JTSA also published key theological documents to do with the church in South Africa, as well as book reviews and review articles.
