ReplyDeleteDear Believers in Christ,
I am Kevaughn Mattis, Trinidad, West Indies, Founder and Coordinator of the online journal on Baptist/Reformed Soteriology, Testamentum Imperium (TI) (http://www.preciousheart.net/ti).
In the past, Testamentum Imperium has focused on affirming the assurance of salvation from Baptist and Reformed perspectives.
However, I wish to bring that journal to a close and set the stage for a new journal project: Sacra Testamentum
I aspire for this new journal to be ecumenical and focus on more contemporary theological issues.
My proposed theme for the first volume of Sacra Testamentum is: An African Reflection on Christian Studies
In the circumstances, I humbly extend this invitation to contribute the following articles (Submission deadline: 21st June, 2018):
Sacra Testamentum
Vol. 1:
An African Reflection on Christian Studies
Introduction
Christian Theologies of Grace and their Opposition to the Cultural Norms of Capitalist Societies – Dr. Sharon J. Grant (Ph.D., Church History, Southern Methodist University, USA)
Sincerely,
Kevaughn Mattis
