Focus and Scope

Missionalia is the journal of the Southern African Missiological Society (SAMS). The journal has since 2021 only one volume, and as soon as a batch of articles are completed it will be published online. Articles and book reviews published in the journal do not necessarily reflect the views of the Editorial team, or the Editorial Board, or of SAMS. Manuscripts submitted for publication are assessed by a panel of referees, and the decision to publish is dependent on their reports. As a SAPSE-accredited journal Missionalia publishes research articles that contribute new knowledge to the field of Missiology.
