What is Quaerens?

Quaerens is published twice a year, in June and December, by Recoletos School of Theology, Inc. of the Province of St. Ezekiel Moreno, Order of the Augustinian Recollects (OAR). Its name draws its inspiration from the celebrated Anselmian formula for theology: fides quaerens intellectum. The title is also very Augustinian. It calls to mind the constancy of spirit required of every restless heart: “Sic ergo quaesumus tanquam inventuri; et sic inveniamus, tanquam quaesituri” (De Trin. IX, 1, i).

As a journal of theology and pastoral life, Quaerens is committed to the noble mission of deepening the modern-day Christian’s understanding and praxis of the faith, of fostering an atmosphere of dialogue with cultures and religions throughout the world in general and throughout Asia in particular, and of promoting a scholarly theological discourse that addresses the specific pastoral needs and questions of our time.

The Editors welcome contributions pertinent to theology and pastoral life. The Editorial Board is not responsible for published opinions. It is further to be understood that approval of an article for publication does not necessarily imply endorsement of the views of the author.
