Revue d'histoire ecclésiastique. Louvain Journal of Church History is a scholarly journal administered by professors of the Université catholique de Louvain and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. It covers the entire history of Christianity. All articles are based on original source research and often develop innovative aspects in the area of historical methodology. They are published in French, English, German, Italian, and Spanish. Besides its articles, the Revue offers the reader reviews of recent books dealing with Church history in the large sense, in the form of critical reviews or brief descriptions. These reviews try to cover the most important publications in this sector. Added to that is a chronicle which mentions conferences, distinctions, doctoral theses, necrologies, etc. RHE is situated at the 'A' level of journals, according to most international classifications. Since 2011 the articles and reviews of the Journal edited during the last decade have been made available online by Brepols Periodica & Miscellanea Online. A jewel of the RHE is its voluminous up-to-date bibliography. Since january 2014, the printed version of the bibliography has been integrated in a new Bibliography on-line, the Index Religiosus, which is accessible via the website Brepolis.
