Each issue also carries a ‘Theological Forum’, providing space for a theological reading of current events and concerns as well as shedding light on questions ignored or hidden elsewhere.

Winner of the Herbert Haag Prize

In 2015 Concilium was awarded the prestigious Herbert Haag Prize. The award was given in acknowledgement of the journal’s exceptional achievements over 50 years; analysing all major aspects of theology in the modern world, responsibly following and developing the debates of the Second Vatican Council, and advancing the spirit of the Council in the new era of intercultural theory and practice.
