Conclusions

The Rivista di Storia e Letteratura Religiosa was founded in 1965 by a small group of professors from the University of Turin, including Michele Pellegrino, who later became bishop of Turin and then cardinal, and one of the protagonists of the post-Vatican II Council. It is now directed by an international curatorium that includes two professors from the Collège de France (Gilbert Dagron and Carlo Ossola). The publication in 2010 of the highly detailed Indici of the first 25 years of work, plus a monographic fascicle devoted to Pontius Pilate, provides an opportunity for an in-depth historiographical debate on religious studies in Europe after the Second Vatican Council.
