Religion and Tolerance in the Balkan Winds - Religion and Tolerance Journal (2002 – 2012)
Zorica Kuburić
Sažetak
This paper presents the journal of Religion and Tolerance over its ten years of publishing. Since its first appearance in 2002 until the end of 2012, the interest in religion has been significantly increased, as well as the number of those who study and write about religion, thus the size of the journal has been growing year after year. The sociology of religion has become a distinguished discipline of social science, which attracts those who are not engaged with religion, experts who research it, as well as those who are plainly religious. Therefore, in spite of financial difficulties, and of the Ministries which impose increasingly stricter conditions for obtaining financial means each year, the journal of Religion and Tolerance has survived over ten full years. The total number of pages in these ten years is 3,580, and the number of authors exceeds 200. The number of published articles per issue is ten in average, which means that there have been 20 articles and 4 book reviews published a year. Other columns that have appeared in the journal are: Interviews, Translations, Lectures, and Letters to the Editor. This paper presents the most read articles, according to the SCI index, and articles that have drawn the greatest attention of students; the research was done in the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad in 2012. Sociology of religion, as it is presented in the journal, has formed its academic identity marked by the sign of tolerance. In relation to methodology, it holds the position of “methodological agnosticism”. Namely, if sociology of religion and its relation with religion are “neither for, nor against, but about it”, the journal of Religion and Tolerance is the right place for an objective discourse about religion, as befits any academic discipline.
