Publication History

Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Theologia Catholica is the scientific journal of the Faculty of Greek Catholic Theology of the Babes-Bolyai University from Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It appeared as a response to the need for the revival of the Greek Catholic Theology, as a result of the period of prohibition imposed by the communist regime and aims to resume a recognized tradition of the Romanian United Church (Greek Catholic) to be a column of the national culture. In order to do this we intend to publish articles on topics of general interest according to all the rigors of the scientific research. Of course, they can follow both the actuality of the religious problems as well as the repayment of the cultural patrimony of our Church.

The journal has appeared since 1996 (year in which only one issue was published), in 1997-2005 with a frequency of at least two issues yearly. Thus, in 2002, 2003 and 2004, due to the scientific events of the faculty, there were three and four numbers per year (2006 - 2012). Since 2013 two issues were published annually.

The journal includes subjects contained by the main fields of the theological themes (Biblical Theology, Dogmatic, Morality, Liturgical, Spiritual Theology, Christian Art, Religious Philosophy, Church History, Christian Archeology, etc.). The structure of the journal is continuously developing, both the regards of the interest area, as well as strengthening the scientific character.
