Aims & Scope

The Person and the Challenges is a peer-reviewed scientific journal whose aim is to disseminate international research in the fields of theology, education, canon law, and social studies inspired by the person and teachings of Pope John Paul II. The journal provides access to the research of Polish scientists (which is why it is published in five conference languages: English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian) and demonstrates a high degree of internationalization (scientific council, authors, reviewers). The periodical, in accordance with the regulation, has "international renown and a special impact on the development of a given scientific discipline." The journal publishes about 30 scientific and review articles annually, as well as reviews and reports.
