The Hong Kong Journal of Catholic Studies is an English-Chinese bilingual academic journal published by the Centre for Catholic Studies of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It aims to promote intellectual exchange in different areas from theology, social science, history, culture to interreligious dialogues between the Chinese and Western world, through which to promote attention and participation in Catholic academic research in the Greater China region and overseas Chinese Catholic communities.
The Hong Kong Journal of Catholic Studies selects its papers by anonymous peer reviews to maintain the academic standard. The nature publication generally belongs to humanities and welcomes the use of the social science approach to studying Catholicism, emphasizing textual and research studies. The journal welcomes contributions from individuals or in the form of a special edition of research projects. Besides, the journal also publishes book reviews.
To consolidate Catholic studies between the Chinese communities and the international world, this bilingual journal accepts submission in Chinese or English along with an abstract of the corresponding language. The journal is published electronically once a year. We welcome your comments and suggestions. The theme of the next issue (2021) is “Ignatian Spirituality and the Contemporary World.”
Seven authors have penned for this issue with the theme “Ignatian Spirituality in the Contemporary World.” Ignatian Spirituality is centered on the Spiritual Exercises developed by St. Ignatius of Loyola, a fifteenth-century figure. Although centuries had passed, Ignatian Spirituality remains popular around the world as a dynamic spirituality in contrast to contemplative spirituality. The authors wrote from different aspects to show how it is still related to us in the contemporary world. Particularly that in 2019, the Society of Jesus has issued four apostolic preferences for the coming decade, with showing “the way to God through the Spiritual Exercises and discernment” as the first priority. The authors’ reflection in this collection comes at a good time.
