About

A Journal of Christian Spirituality and Practical Theology

Offerings: A Journal of Christian Spirituality and Practical Theology, an endeavor of the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas, publishes innovative research at the disciplinary intersection between Practical Theology and Spirituality. Situated in the unique social location of South Texas, within the diverse and overlapping Spanish and English speaking cultures and contexts, Offerings is committed to publishing academic works that illuminate and give meaning to the spiritual life lived in the particularities of the every day. By featuring both established and emerging scholars, Offerings provides a forum for an engaging dialogue among readers and authors that is rooted in the Christian traditions and gives voice to rich and wide-ranging expressions of human life, particularly the experiences of historically excluded and underrepresented peoples and communities.

Offerings, a biannual publication of Oblate School of Theology is distributed by Herder & Herder, the academic publishing arm of The Crossroad Publishing Company. Abstracting and Indexing of the publication is conducted by ATLA Religion Database (American Theological Library Association) 2022-present and New Testament Abstracts.
