The journal was founded in 1956 under the CNRS as the Archives de Sociologie des Religions. It was renamed as the Archives de sciences sociales des religions in 1973.[1][2] It was founded by a group of five intellectuals: Henri Desroche, Émile Poulat, Jacques Maître, François-André Isambert and Gabriel Le Bras.[3]
Henri Desroche was the director of the journal from its creation until 1980.[4] ASSR releases articles bilingually in French and English, and occasionally Spanish.[5] Émile Poulat was one of the most important contributors of the journal, and was a member of its reading committee.[1]
It was formerly a semi-annual publication, and was published by the Institut de Sciences sociales des Religions in Paris, France.[6] The journal was transitioned to a diamond open access model in 2023, available for free on OpenEdition Journals.[7] In 2015 it had 1,000 readers.[8]
The journal is peer reviewed. It publishes a "bibliographic bulletin" in January, and thematic or variety issues in April, June and November.[3][5] It has published themed issues on the religion of Creole peoples and the relations between Islam and politics in post-communist countries.[9][10]
Writer David Martin described the journal, along with the journal Social Compass, as "as essential to theory-building [in the context of the sociology of religion] as missionary ethnographies were to the foundations of anthropology".[11] Lionel Obadia described ASSR as "the major journal in social sciences of religion in France".[12]
