AOSIS invites all prospective authors to submit their latest research manuscripts to the In die Skriflig/In Luce Verbi, a theological and acclaimed Open Access journal that serves as the official journal of the Reformed Theological Society (Gereformeerde Teologiese Werksgemeenskap).

Journal Focus and Scope

In die Skriflig/In Luce Verbi focusses on Reformed Theology, specifically but not exclusively within an African context. The journal encourages research from all of the disciplines within theology and is specifically interested in innovative and original research that engages critically with the basic tenets of reformed theology and contributes to its development both in terms of theological depth and application to modern contexts.  All contributions are refereed anonymously by at least three scholars who are recognised as specialists in the particular field of study. English, Afrikaans and Dutch are the general languages of publication, but articles in German will also be considered.
