About the Journal

Paideía Christiana: Journal of Evangelization, Catechesis, and Religious Education in Asia focuses primarily on grass-roots contributions to Asian ecclesiology. It adopts the perspective that theology emerges not only from theoretical reflection but significantly from the lived experiences and practical engagements of local Christian communities in Asia. In contrast to traditional ecumenical dialogues that often emphasize theologians’ theoretical perspectives—approaches which have become somewhat predictable—this journal prioritizes empirical, contextual, and community-based insights. Through this approach, the journal aims to foster a richer, more diverse, and authentically Asian ecclesiological discourse, rooted firmly in local realities and everyday practices.
