REVUE APOLOGÉTIQUE. - A monthly periodical founded in Paris in 1905 by the Sulpician Jean Guibert, director of the Seminary of the city's Catholic Institute, in order to offer especially to the clergy and to scholars a means of countering with precision and vigor the difficulties raised by adversaries.

Its original title was Revue pratique d'apologétique, which better identified its character; after the First World War it took the more universal title Revue d'apologétique, because, without ceasing to be practical, it wished to concern itself less with immediate usefulness and more with general formation. In 1939, however, under the title Nouvelle revue apologétique, it resumed at least in part its original character, recognizing that directors of pastoral works and young priests have more need of short, precise, clear articles on the great religious questions of the present than of longer articles and more specialized studies. The periodical ceased with the Second World War.
