Overview
Razón y Fe (Spanish for 'Reason and Faith') is a Spanish-language monthly cultural publication directed by fathers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) and published in Madrid. Founded in 1901, the review has, since its inception, sought to bring together the two components of its title — 'Reason' and 'Faith'. While respecting the autonomy of each field of investigation and their different approaches to human reality, it aims to draw them closer by fostering dialogue between Christian faith and the various ways in which culture manifests itself. The publication has a simple structure: editorials and in-depth articles, together with book reviews and film commentary. It addresses a wide diversity of social problems, treating them thoroughly yet in a manner accessible to a readership interested in the problems and questions stirring the contemporary world. Its editorial line is rooted in the Jesuit intellectual tradition, combining rigorous analysis with openness to contemporary culture. As a Jesuit-run review, Razón y Fe operates within the broader apostolic and cultural mission of the Society of Jesus. It is published in Madrid and distributed primarily in Spain and the Spanish-speaking world. The review's website, razonyfe.org, serves as its official online presence. Over more than a century of continuous publication, it has established itself as one of the long-running Catholic cultural journals in the Spanish language, maintaining its founding commitment to dialogue between faith and reason.
