As the first academic journal dedicated to comparative religious history research, History of Religions has established an innovative and rigorous research standard in the field of religious studies. This journal provides a platform for religious scholars worldwide to explore and analyze religious phenomena from prehistoric times to modern times, including religious beliefs, practices, rituals, and expressions of religion in different cultures and societies.

The journal is committed to publishing original and in-depth academic articles that not only delve into specific religious traditions, locations, and historical periods, but also address methodological and theoretical issues in the field of religious studies. It encourages scholars to adopt comparative religious teaching methods, exploring religious phenomena through cross-cultural and cross religious perspectives, in order to reveal the universality and diversity of religion in human history and culture.
