The IAPR (International Association for the Psychology of Religion) was founded in 1914 in Nuremberg, Germany, by the name of "Internationale Gesellschaft für Religionspsychologie” and published in that same year the first volume of what should have become a journal: the Archiv für Religionspsychologie (Archive for the Psychology of Religion). Essentially, however, the enterprise was the work of one single man, Dr. Wilhelm Stählin (1883-1975), a German protestant minister. As Germany went to war during 1914-1918, the interior situation of the country changed dramatically and a next volume (no. 2/3) of the Archiv was not published until 1921, to be followed by one in 1929. Since then, the Archiv has had a turbulent history. In 1998, a new board took on in order to turn it into a scholarly, democratic, and confessionally as well as religiously neutral international platform for the psychology of religion.
