Journal of Religious History (JRH)

The Journal of Religious History was established in 1960 and has since served as a leading international forum for high‑quality scholarly research on the history of religions. Published quarterly by Wiley‑Blackwell for the Religious History Association, it features peer‑reviewed articles that make original and significant contributions to understanding the historical dimensions of religious phenomena. The journal’s scope is wide, covering diverse traditions, regions, and historical periods. It addresses not only core religious developments but also how religion intersects with broader cultural, social, political, and intellectual contexts. Contributions often include rigorous historical analysis, careful interpretation of primary source materials, and engagement with theoretical frameworks that enrich historical inquiry. The journal’s interdisciplinary ethos encourages submissions that blend history with anthropology, sociology, and comparative religion, illuminating how religious ideas and practices shaped—and were shaped by—broader human experiences. With international contributors and an editorial board drawn from leading scholars, the journal plays a central role in the global field of religious history. It also includes book reviews and critical discussions that reflect contemporary debates in the study of religion. Through its long publishing history, the Journal of Religious History has been an essential resource for academics, researchers, and students seeking to understand the complex and dynamic role of religion in shaping human pasts.
