Papers at Theology conference at the UFS published in academic journal
2009-08-21
 |
Theology is also a theme outside of the church. This was once again proven with the recent special edition of an academic journal that specifically focused on this theme. The Journal for Christian Scholarship (JCS) dedicated its first special edition for 2009 to a conference on missionary work and conversion to Christianity. This conference, organised by Prof. Pieter Verster of the Department of Missiology in the Faculty of Theolog, was presented at the University of the Free State (UFS) last year. Papers by international speakers from, amongst others, Brazil, India and the Netherlands were recorded in this edition. The JCS is an accredited academic journal that is distributed both nationally and internationally. Here Prof. Daan Strauss (left) from the Faculty of the Humanities at the UFS and editor of the JCS, presents a copy of this special edition to Prof. Francois Tolmie, Dean of the Faculty of Theology. Mr Hugo Hayes (second from the left) executive officer of the Association for Christian Higher Education, and Prof. Pieter Verster, head of the Department of Missiology at the UFS, also attended the occasion.
