In June 1939, the first issue of this publication was published periodical, whose exact title is Revista Bíblica. Quarterly body for the understanding of Holy Scripture. In the beginning it had two directors: Msgr. Dr. John Straubinger (1883-1956), who lived in St. Pedro de Jujuy, and Dr. Clemente Kopp, installed on Mount Carmel, that is, in Palestine. This magazine is the main and only dedicated medium exclusively to exegetical publications in Argentina. Ha has varied a lot at the different times, according to the directors.
