African Christian Theology (ISSN: 3006-1768; e-ISSN: 3007–1771) is the academic journal of the Association for Christian Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA). Volume 2, number 1 of the journal has been published here.
This issue of African Christian Theology was not designed to be a themed issue, but the articles are linked by the quintessential African concerns of ubuntu. Perhaps the best-known proponent of ubuntu is Desmond Tutu (1931–2021; Anglican Bishop of Johannesburg, 1985–1986, and Archbishop of Cape Town, 1986–1996), who drew on “the proverbial Xhosa expression ‘ubuntu ungamntu ngabanye abantu,’ which, translated roughly, means ‘each individual’s humanity is ideally expressed in relationship with others’ or ‘a person depends on other people to be a person’.”
