Abstract
The first issue of the Revue Internationale de Théologie appeared in spring 1893. The journal can be read as an early ecumenical rapprochement project and as a platform of exchange between different denominational and theological cultures. The Revue – and the congress where it was initiated – can be considered a project of demarcation. Rapprochement and demarcation are interlocking processes that constitute in academia what Tony Becher and Paul R. Trowler describe as academic tribes and territories. The article examines the first journal issued to show the founding fathers positioned the Revue as a medium of multiple alliances.
