Pacifica is a scholarly peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of Christian theology, published three times a year by the Pacifica Theological Studies Association. Pacifica serves the needs of scholars and students in responding to the current and future challenges facing Christian theology. We provide a forum for theologians of Australasia and the West Pacific Basin, bringing a unique contribution to the world of theological studies. Pacifica welcomes high quality articles from both Church and Academy, irrespective of the creedal or religious commitment of the contributor.
