Ministerium is to promote theological reflection on the Christian faith from the perspectives of the pastoral, cultural, social, historical and political contexts of different peoples. This preoccupation for contextualization is based on the conviction that it is only a hermeneutic of Christianity with such concern that can be of true service to the work of evangelization and the mission of the Church in the conditions and circumstances of today. This Journal is to serve as a forum for scholars from different parts of the world who seek this approach to theology to share their insights and experiences with others across the globe.
