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.
