Revista de Estudios Religiosos is a scholarly journal founded in Spain that publishes research on religion, theology, and related cultural phenomena. It serves as a forum connecting studies on Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and indigenous traditions across Europe, Latin America and other regions. The journal engages with academic conversations involving university departments, theological faculties, research centers and learned societies.
The journal emerged amid debates in Spanish and Latin American academia influenced by scholars linked to Universidad de Salamanca, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Universidad de Barcelona and institutions such as the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas and the Real Academia Española. Early issues reflected dialogues shaped by intellectual currents associated with figures in Spanish Catholic thought and post-Vatican II theology connected to the Second Vatican Council, alongside comparative work resonating with researchers at the Pontifical University of Salamanca, the University of Notre Dame and the Harvard Divinity School. During transitions in the 1990s and 2000s the journal’s editorial life intersected with initiatives from the European Association for the Study of Religions, the American Academy of Religion and Latin American networks such as the Asociación de Filosofía y Teología.
The journal emphasizes empirical, historical and theoretical studies about religious phenomena, profiling research that engages with sources related to Catholic Church, Protestantism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Sunni Islam, Shia Islam, Rabbinic Judaism, Theravada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism and indigenous cosmologies like those of the Mapuche, Quechua and Guarani. Contributions frequently analyze texts, rituals, artistic expressions and institutional developments tied to archives held at the Archivo General de Indias, the Vatican Apostolic Archive, the British Library and the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Interdisciplinary dialogue with scholars from the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, the University of Chicago, the London School of Economics, the University of California, Berkeley and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México is common.
Published by an academic press affiliated with the sponsoring university, the periodical issues thematic dossiers and individual articles. Distribution channels have involved collaboration with national libraries such as the Biblioteca Nacional de España and with international consortia including holdings at the Library of Congress and major research libraries like the New York Public Library and the Biblioteca Nacional de Argentina José Hernández. The journal’s language policy prioritizes Spanish but has included articles in English and Portuguese, encouraging exchange with contributors from the University of São Paulo, the State University of Campinas, the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro and the Universidad de Chile.
Editorial leadership has drawn on scholars affiliated with departments and institutes such as the Faculty of Theology of the University of Navarra, the Pontifical Gregorian University, the Institut Catholique de Paris and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity. The peer-review process engages external referees from networks connected to the Society for Biblical Literature, the International Association for the History of Religions, the International Sociological Association and research centers like the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and the Institut d'Études Islamiques. Ethical standards align with expectations set by organizations such as the Committee on Publication Ethics and editorial practice mirrors protocols common at the Oxford University Press and the Cambridge University Press.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in regional and international services that support humanities and social sciences research. Indexing outlets that list comparable journals include platforms such as Scopus, Web of Science, Latindex, Dialnet, Redalyc and JSTOR, and it is discoverable through library catalogs such as WorldCat. Citation tracking often references metrics produced by systems tied to the European Reference Index for the Humanities and bibliometric analyses conducted by groups at the University of Leiden and the Max Planck Digital Library.
The periodical has published influential pieces examining topics like secularization in post-Franco Spain referencing debates comparable to those involving José Ortega y Gasset, studies of Islamic communities in Europe resonant with research from the European Islam Research Centre, analyses of Jewish life in Iberia linked to work on the Alhambra Decree and recoveries of missionary correspondence archived alongside collections from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel and the Spanish Society of Historical Studies. Special issues have showcased collaborations with scholars who have held posts at the École Pratique des Hautes Études, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of Toronto, McGill University and the Australian Catholic University.
The journal is cited in monographs and articles by authors from institutions such as the University of Edinburgh, the University of St Andrews, the University of Tübingen, the University of Göttingen and the University of Bonn. Its regional influence is notable among researchers in Spain and Latin America, intersecting with scholarly debates promoted by the Ibero-American Council for Education and international conferences hosted by the European Association for the Study of Religions and the Latin American Studies Association. Libraries and research centers in institutions like the University of Buenos Aires, the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and the Universidad de Salamanca include the journal in core collections, where it contributes to historiographical dialogues and comparative religious scholarship.
