Bogoslovni vestnik (Ephemerides theologicae) je znanstvena revija Teološke fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani, ustanovljena leta 1920/21 kot naslednica Voditelj v bogoslovnih vedah (1898–1916). Je najstarejša slovenska znanstvena revija s področja humanistike. Kljub dvajsetletni prekinitvi izhajanja med leti 1945–1965 je ohranila pomembno vlogo v teološkem in interdisciplinarnem raziskovanju. Revija obravnava teme s področja teologije, filozofije, religiologije, bibličnih študij in interdisciplinarnega raziskovanja teologije ter družbenih ved, kot so sociologija, psihologija in pravo. Posebna pozornost je namenjena etiki in bibličnemu izročilu, vključno s študijami o bibličnem prevajanju in njegovem vplivu na slovenski jezik. Objavlja dela v slovenščini in tujih jezikih (angleščini in italijanščini), pri čemer vzpostavlja ravnovesje med nacionalno in mednarodno relevantnostjo. V reviji sodelujejo ugledni slovenski in mednarodni znanstveniki, ki spodbujajo dialog prek jezikovnih, verskih in kulturnih meja. Bogoslovni vestnik služi kot ključna platforma za širjenje izvirnih raziskav in še naprej vpliva na razvoj humanistike v Sloveniji in širše.

Too few articlesOnly 2 articles from the last 24 months carry both submission and acceptance dates, too few for a median
Only articles that were accepted and published are counted, not the time spent on rejected manuscripts, so this usually runs longer than a publisher's "time to first decision".
