Abstract
The purpose of the Journal of Psychology and Theology is to publish novel scholarly thinking on the interrelationships between psychology and the Christian faith, and to consider the application of these interrelationships onto a variety of contexts.
Theologians have amassed an extensive literature related to multiculturalism, social justice, and peace (MSJP). Moreover, psychologists, counselors, and other mental health professionals have created a large body of nonreligious/nonspiritual scholarship on MSJP. Despite its importance in theology and psychology (and its related disciplines), scholars have underrepresented MSJP within the extant scholarship in theology-psychology integration. Christian viewpoints on MSJP have much to offer the field of psychology and counseling, and it is critical that we develop this field more intentionally. This JPT special issue on MSJP will expand our uniquely Christian literature. Author(s) should consider developing
Christian Theologies (e.g., Theologies of Liberation and Justice, Peace Theologies, Feminist Theologies, Black Theologies, Latinx Theologies) with Implications for Scholarship/Research, Education/Training, or Practice
