Editorial

The Stellenbosch Theological Journal (STJ) is proud to present this supplement under the title "Theology from Below: Contributions from Emerging Scholars". It contains sixteen peer-reviewed essays that were first presented in March 2019 at an exciting international theological conference for post-graduate students and early career researchers. The academic quality of these essays, published after a rigorous peer-review process, bodes well for the future of theological scholarship. A special word of thanks to Drs Khegan Delport, Marnus Havenga and Calvin Ullrich for their role as guest editors of this volume. In their guest editorial they mention that one of the contributors, Dr. Alease Brown, sadly passed away before the publication of her article. We remember and honour her contribution to theological discourse in South Africa with gratitude.

One of the members of the Editorial Board of STJ, Prof. Mary-Anne Plaatjies-Van Huffel, also passed away earlier this year. Next to her pioneering role as church and ecumenical leader, she also left a strong academic imprint as professor in Church History and Church Polity at the Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University. She will be deeply missed, and we are thankful for her role over the years as part of the editorial team of STJ.
