Kwaghe International Journal of Arts, Humanities and Religious Studies aims to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship that advances knowledge in the arts, humanities, and religious studies. The journal encourages critical, historical, textual, philosophical, and interpretive work that strengthens academic understanding of human experience, cultural expression, moral reflection, and religious thought in diverse local and global contexts. • Arts and Human Expression: promote scholarship on literature, language, visual culture, heritage, and artistic interpretation. • Humanities Inquiry: support rigorous work in philosophy, history, ethics, cultural studies, and related humanities disciplines. • Religious Studies: welcome critical studies of religion, belief systems, theology, spirituality, and religious practices across traditions. • Contemporary Relevance: encourage contributions that connect classical inquiry and textual traditions with present-day cultural, educational, and societal issues. Submissions should articulate a clear scholarly question, employ an appropriate analytic or interpretive framework, engage relevant literature critically, and demonstrate a meaningful contribution to arts, humanities, and/or religious studies scholarship. Scope KIJAHRS welcomes original articles, theoretical papers, critical essays, and review studies in the broad fields of arts, humanities, and religious studies. The journal is open to interdisciplinary work, provided the contribution remains analytically strong, conceptually clear, and grounded in appropriate sources, evidence, or interpretive traditions. • Arts and Cultural Studies: literature, languages, visual arts, performance, cultural heritage, aesthetics, and creative expression. • Humanities: history, philosophy, ethics, linguistics, cultural analysis, intellectual traditions, and interpretive scholarship. • Religious Studies: theology, comparative religion, scripture and textual studies, spirituality, ritual, and religion in society. • Society and Values: morality, identity, tradition, intercultural dialogue, religion and public life, and social thought. • Interdisciplinary Scholarship: studies linking arts, humanities, and religion with education, culture, communication, or social transformation. Priority is given to manuscripts with strong conceptual framing, careful use of primary and secondary sources, transparent interpretive logic, and conclusions that are consistent with the argument and evidence presented.
