HTS has published original research concerned with the dissemination of the results of theological research of national and international scholars since 1943. The journal has a wide multi–disciplinary scope and supports theologians, philosophers, scholars, ministers of religion and specialists in religious and socially related subjects by providing them with research results.

Currently HTS is published twice a year through rolling pass publication (manuscript are published as they are ready). In 2010 the journal Praktiese Teologie van Suid–Afrika merged with HTS.

The journal covers theology in its broadest sense and therefore publishes articles linked with a variety of other study fields, and has a multi–disciplinary, multi–church, inter–faith, and multi–religious focus and scope. Articles cover, among others, aspects of religious studies, philosophy, ancient Semitic and classical languages, sociology and ethics. HTS Teologiese Studies/ Theological Studies is committed to the capacity building of young scholars.

Its abbreviated title is Herv. teol. stud. , which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.

HTS aims to be nationally relevant and internationally competitive. The Editorial Board thus followed a strategy to ensure the balanced publication of local, national and international research. Strict international and scholarly criteria are applied in the publication of all articles. The Editorial Board consists of highly regarded international scholars and national academics. The journal includes articles written by foreign scholars.
