African Journal of Religion, Philosophy and Culture

Aims & Scope

The African Journal of Religion, Philosophy and Culture is a quarterly, double-blind peer reviewed journal that publishes articles of high quality in the areas of religion, philosophy, culture and related fields.

The journal approaches its subjects of focus in a holistic manner.

For instance, the study of religion will not only be limited to traditional disciplines such as ecclesiastical history, theology and history of religions but will also include emerging areas that contribute new vistas in our understanding of religion as a broad discipline.

Similarly, in the philosophy component, the journal welcomes studies and reflections not only from the traditional fields of Metaphysics, Epistemology, Logic and Ethics but also on emerging areas with a bearing on Africa and beyond.

In the same vein, the culture component welcomes researches not only on traditional subjects such as Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology that have contributed to our understanding of culture but also on insights from emerging areas.

The journal provides an avenue for exposition, development, and criticism of vital religious, philosophical and cultural ideas and theories relevant to Africa.

The journal has a Virtual Editorial Assistant (VEA) who is attached to the journal’s editor and who liaises between the journal’s editor and the Authors.

The VEA receives and acknowledges the receipt of papers on behalf of the editor.

The VEA also creates a database of relevant reviewers and on the guidance of the editor, approaches potential reviewers with a list of articles available to be reviewed.

This enables the potential reviewer to select from the list an article which he/she really has an interest it.
