About the Journal

Aims and Scope

"Annales Missiologici Posnanienses" is a peer-reviewed scientific journal addressed to those interested in research in the religious-cultural stream. The purpose of the this journal is to disseminate the results of research, exchange of views and ideas within the national and international scientific community dedicated especially to issues of theology, missiology and history of missions and intercultural relations. The thematic profile of the journal also admits interesting papers on issues related to cultural anthropology, ethnology, ethnography and religious studies. The title of the journal refers to theological reflection on the presence of Christianity in diverse cultural contexts. The primacy of this perspective does not exclude the inclusion in the discussion of representatives of other scientific disciplines devoting time to the study of the cultural richness of humanity.

The journal publishes texts in Polish and congressional languages.
