The Bogoslovska smotra is a scientific periodical published by the Catholic Faculty of Theology, University of Zagreb. It is one of the oldest Croatian scientific periodicals. It is primarily focused on academic papers related to the field of theology and sciences related to theology, particularly philosophy. It publishes articles that deal with religious issues in general and in particular Christian issues. The periodical has an inter-disciplinary nature and promotes reflections of scientists and of course, their cooperation in all fields of science. Its relevance is significant particularly today when many theological issues present a challenge to various other fields of science and when theology shows interest for these fields and its approach enriches events in these same fields (pedagogy, psychology, sociology, literature, law, natural and technical sciences).
