Landas Vol. 38 No. 2 (2026)

The articles gathered in these pages explore diverse theological themes, yet each bears witness to something they all hold in common: the enduring human desire to seek understanding in faith and to place the fruits of that search at the service of the Church and the wider world. At a time when artificial intelligence increasingly assists us in tasks once regarded as uniquely human—such as thinking, researching, and writing—these studies quietly remind us that theology remains, at its heart, a profoundly human vocation. Each article represents not merely the communication of ideas but the patient work of minds and hearts listening to God’s Word, wrestling with the questions of our time, and offering their reflections in the hope that they may contribute, however modestly, to the Church’s continuing work of faith seeking understanding. It is in this spirit that we offer these reflections, confident that, even in an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, the Church’s search for truth and wisdom will always remain a profoundly human response in faith to the God who first speaks to us and calls each of us by name.
