The Zeitschrift für Religions- und Geistesgeschichte (ZRGG) is a scientific journal founded in 1948 by Hans-Joachim Schoeps and Ernst Benz , which since then has dedicated itself to the presentation and publication of scientific research results on religious , intellectual and cultural history . It is a forum for interdisciplinary research and exchange among scholars without restriction to a specific period of time or to a specific scientific method.
The magazine is published quarterly (with a few exceptions in the first few years) by Brill Academic Publishers in Leiden.

Schoeps (Potsdam, managing director), Hans J. Hillerbrand (Durham, USA), Helmut Peitsch (Potsdam) and Almut-Barbara Renger (Berlin). Julius H.
