Australian eJournal of Theology

From the Editor

This issue begins the first instalment of leading theologian John Thornhill's masterful introduction to the writings of Christopher Dawson. Future chapters of this mini-book will appear in subsequent AEJT issues. Interreligious and intercultural concerns are also the focus of a number of articles, notably John Coleman (religious dialogue) and William Burrows (formation for mission). In this category we can also include Kathleen Butler-McIwraith's timely piece—in view of the Australian Parliament's recent apology to Indigenous People for their suffering at the hands of European colonization—on Social Justice, Indigenous Australians and Catholicism.
