The scientific journal "Studia Paradyskie" was established in 1985 at the Major Seminary in Gościkowo-Paradyż (diocese of Zielona Góra-Gorzów), as a response to the needs of the local theological community. In the years 1999-2003, the seminary was affiliated to the Faculty of Theology of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. After the seminary was affiliated to the Faculty of Theology of the University of Szczecin, established in 2003, the SP magazine became one of the three magazines edited in this scientific unit.
