Philippiniana Sacra editor invites scholars to submit research articles on Thomistic studies until 2025
In celebration of the Jubilees of St. Thomas Aquinas, the University Patron, from 2023 to 2025, Philippiniana Sacra editor Rev. fr. Jesus M. Miranda, Jr., O.P., PhD, invites scholars to submit their research articles on Thomistic studies.
“While the journal continues to publish the most relevant research articles in the areas of Ecclesiastical Sciences and Church history, research articles on Thomistic studies are most welcome for submission within these three years to highlight the festivities of the Angelic Doctor,” fr. Miranda said in the Editor’s Note of the September-December 2023 volume of the journal.
The Angelic Doctor’s 700th year of his canonization was celebrated this year on July 18, 2023; 750th anniversary of his Dies Natalis (death) will be celebrated in 2024; and, lastly, the 8th centenary of his birth in 2025.
“May we be reminded of the words of Thomas Aquinas, ‘The study of truth requires a considerable effort – which is why few are willing to undertake it out of love of knowledge – despite the fact that God has implanted a natural appetite for such knowledge in the minds of men (Summa Contra Gentiles).””
The official journal of the UST Ecclesiastical Faculties, being an open access website, facilitates the fluid curation and circulation of knowledge on ecclesiastical disciplines.
