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 3, number 1 of the journal has been published here.
Description
This special issue of African Christian Theology is a compilation of unexpected outputs from a project entitled, “Religion, Faith, and Development in Ghana and Jamaica: Connecting Transatlantic Theological Voices and Enhancing Leadership through Academic Writing Workshops,” or, more succinctly, the Transatlantic Writing Project (TWP). The practice of publishing a special journal issue with material produced from an academic gathering is common. Yet, despite this issue containing outputs from a two-year writing project, it is unlikely to be what readers are expecting. Indeed, the words, ideas, and feelings coming through us as authors and orators caught many of us off guard as well. These are not the carefully polished, reviewed, and revised words of academic prose, but, as you will read, something more raw and rough-edged. Vulnerable. Heartfelt. Certainly, the familiar, peer-reviewed and polished academic outputs — articles, book chapters, monographs, and so forth — were also present and are listed in a bibliography at the end of this issue.
