Pharos Journal of Theology

Aims & Scope

The Pharos Journal of Theology, formerly know as the Ekklesiastikos Pharos was originally published in Alexandria (Egypt) directly by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate as a theological review at the beginning of the 20th Century.

Consequently it is one of the oldest scholarly periodicals in Africa.

The periodical later on moved to Athens, but since 1990 the African edition, now known as Pharos Journal of Theology is edited again in Africa (Johannesburg).

The editors who served the journal with excellence and extreme dedication over many years were the late Prof.

Dr.

B.

Hendrickx (RIP) and Prof.

Dr.

T.

Sansaridou-Hendrickx, both NRF rated scholars and academics of the highest quality.

Their pioneering work has made this journal internationally renowned and they remain on board as reviewers.

The online platform for the journal, of course, has far greater reach than a hard copy version.

The Journal is now back to its initial strictly theological focus under our esteemed editor Prof.

Dr.

T.

Sansaridou-Hendrickx who is assisted by an extremely dedicated Editorial Board, composed of local and international scholars of standing.

It is published by Africajournals who are the owners of the journal.
