Editor-in-Chief (HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies): Professor Andries van AardeWelcome to the online journal of HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies. We have published original research concerned with the dissemination of the results of theological research of national and international scholars since 1943.
The journal has a wide multi-disciplinary scope and supports theologians, philosophers, scholars, ministers of religion and specialists in religious and socially related subjects by providing them with research results.
The journal covers theology in its broadest sense and therefore publishes articles linked with a variety of other study fields, and has a multi-disciplinary, multi-church, inter-faith, and multi-religious focus and scope. Articles cover, among others, aspects of religious studies, philosophy, ancient Semitic and classical languages, sociology and ethics. HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies is committed to the capacity building of young scholars.
We hope you will continue to enjoy the journal and we welcome new submissions!
