20th Anniversary of Hill Road Journal
Hill Road Journal (hereafter HRJ) is the academic journal of the Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary. Since its first issue in May 1998, the journal has been regularly published every six months. By the end of this year, we will publish the 40th issue as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the journal’s publication. For this reason, we have especially invited the chief editor, members of the Editorial Committee and two readers to share their thoughts and feelings about the journal.
