Anuario de Historia de la Iglesia

Anuario de Historia de la Iglesia, whose title translates as Yearbook of the History of the Church, is a Spanish academic journal devoted to the historical study of Christianity, the Church, religion, theology, and related cultural subjects. It is published by the Institute of the History of the Church within the Faculty of Theology at the University of Navarra. The journal was established in 1992 and operates as an annual scholarly publication with open-access availability through the University of Navarra's journal platform. The publication's scope is interdisciplinary within the humanities. Its principal field is ecclesiastical history, but its coverage also extends to religious history, theological history, and the history of art. This combination allows the journal to publish research on institutions, ideas, people, movements, texts, and artistic expressions associated with the history of Christianity and religious life. Its institutional location within a university theology faculty gives it a clear scholarly and specialized identity rather than a general-interest religious publishing position. Josep-Ignasi Saranyana was the founding editor-in-chief. Santiago Casas is identified as the current editor. Under its editorial structure, the journal organizes material into several recurring formats: research studies; historiography and bibliography; conversations; chronicles; and reviews. These formats support both original academic research and scholarly communication about developments in the field, including assessments of books and bibliographic resources. The journal's open-access model makes its content available beyond the immediate university community and supports international use by researchers, libraries, and students. Its indexing in services including Latindex, the Arts & Humanities Citation Index, the Catholic Periodical and Literature Index, Academic Search Complete, L'Année Philologique, Redalyc, and Scopus indicates distribution across both specialized religious and broader humanities research channels. These listings also position the title within international academic discovery infrastructure. As a publication brand, Anuario de Historia de la Iglesia is defined by continuity, institutional sponsorship, disciplinary specialization, and scholarly presentation. It is not a commercial consumer brand or a mass-market media title. Its principal offering is the annual journal itself, together with its component article and review formats. The available reference material does not identify a separate commercial product portfolio, corporate ownership structure, financial results, major marketing campaigns, scandals, mergers, or publicly reported pricing decisions. The journal's current online presence is maintained through the University of Navarra's academic journal platform.

Anuario de Historia de la Iglesia was founded in 1992 as an annual scholarly journal associated with the Institute of the History of the Church in the Faculty of Theology at the University of Navarra. Its creation established a dedicated publication venue for historical research concerning the Church and related religious traditions. Josep-Ignasi Saranyana served as the founding editor-in-chief, giving the journal its initial editorial direction. The journal's subject area is broader than institutional church history alone. It encompasses ecclesiastical history, religious history, theological history, and the history of art. This scope connects historical research on Christian institutions and communities with the study of religious ideas, theological development, cultural production, and artistic heritage. The journal therefore occupies an interdisciplinary position within theology, religious studies, history, and the humanities. Its editorial content is arranged through several recurring publication formats. Studies provide space for original scholarly research. Historiography and bibliography address the organization, interpretation, and documentation of research in the field. Conversations provide a more dialogic form of scholarly exchange, while chronicles record relevant academic or disciplinary developments. Reviews assess books and other scholarly works. Together, these sections combine primary research with reference, discussion, and evaluation functions. Anuario de Historia de la Iglesia is published by the University of Navarra's Institute of the History of the Church and is available as an open-access journal through the university's online journal platform. This publishing model broadens access to its contents for researchers and students in Spain and internationally. The title's presence in major indexing and abstracting services further supports scholarly visibility. Listed services include Latindex, the Arts & Humanities Citation Index, the Catholic Periodical and Literature Index, Academic Search Complete, L'Année Philologique, Redalyc, and Scopus. Santiago Casas is identified as the current editor, indicating the continuation of the journal's editorial activity under the University of Navarra's institutional framework. The available sources do not provide a complete chronology of editorial transitions, circulation, print history, submission policies, article-level output, readership, or financial performance. They also do not document major campaigns, controversies, lawsuits, recalls, mergers, or other corporate-style events. The journal is best understood as a continuing academic publication brand whose principal value lies in its specialized scholarship, open accessibility, and integration into international research databases.
