The University of Limpopo’s (UL) journal,
The partnership with EBSCO is a major achievement for the journal and UL. It is also an opportunity to increase engagement, attract web traffic to the site and improve overall brand recognition.
The journal, founded by the then Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies at UL, seeks to delve into pilgrim theology, explore aspects of theology and religion in order to deepen people’s understanding of God and broaden their perspectives on religious traditions.
UL’s Office of Research Administration and Development and the School of Social Sciences under the leadership Prof. S. Sithole currently support the journal, and it is interested in all African religious traditions in all of their manifestations in all parts of Africa.
