Abstract

Title: THE JOURNAL SCRIPTA THEOLOGICA: 50 YEARS OF HISTORY AND THEOLOGY This doctoral thesis deals with the historical-theological study of the academic studies published in the journal Scripta Theologica on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary in 2018. A research is made of its 1,335 academic studies and 6,207 reviews, in order to see topics and authors of importance and to get a first idea of the contribution of the journal to the theological world. The thesis is structured in three parts. The first part presents the genesis and subsequent development of the journal. It conveniently frames the birth of the journal within the post-conciliar historical context, and the beginnings of the theology faculty as an integral part of the University of Navarra. It also presents unpublished documents from the archives of the University and the Theology Faculty, as well as from the personal archives and memories of some professors. Subsequently, it shows the consolidation of the project, under the mandate of six directors, and the progressive increase of its diffusion in decades until the stage that could be called its maturity. The second part examines the most significant articles from among the more than a thousand articles published, grouping them thematically into: articles that reflect the first reception of the Council in the theological world; those that reflect the tensions that surfaced in the assimilation and application of the conciliar orientations, and the studies of the "classical areas of theology". The third part identifies "singular contents" present in the research published in Scripta Theologica, and which therefore characterizes the contribution of the journal to the theology of its time. In order to obtain these data, it is contrasted with the topics treated in nine (9) other recognized theological journals.
