This academic journal belongs to the ‘Sentrum vir Bedieningsontwikkeling’ (Centre for Ministerial Development) of the Dutch Reformed Church at the Faculty of Theology, University of Pretoria. Articles inter-relate the various theological disciplines (eg. Old Testament Studies; New Testament Studies; Practical Theology; Dogmatics and Ethics; Church History and Church Polity; Missiology and Science of Religion)and also serve as a catalyst to connect Theology and Religion with various fields in the Humanities, Social Studies and even the Natural Sciences (Biology, Zoology, Medical Sciences, etc.). This broad focus expands the borders of focused theological research by linking theological disciplines to other scholarly and scientific fields.

One of the primary aims of Verbum et Ecclesia is to publish research articles in all the fields of theology, biblical languages, philosophy and patristic studies which are relevant to both church and society in South Africa, Africa and the world. The journal endeavours to construct an academic bridge between African, Asian and First World (American and European) theologies and religious developments.

A primary aim of the journal is to make an academic contribution with regards to theology and religion in South Africa, Africa and the academic world by supporting original research undertaken by philosophers, scholars and ministers in the fields of religious, social and scientific studies. Articles are published in English, Afrikaans, German, Dutch and Isipedi. We welcome you to submit your article to this journal.
