The journal was founded by the Council on Religion and Law (CORAL) in 1982 and Hamline University School of Law provided the first editorial home for the journal. JLR published its first issue in the summer of 1983.{{Cite journal|last1=Scherschligt|first1=Michael|last2=Yates|first2=Wilson|date=1983|title=Editors' Preface|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/5A102666E332F2F404346F694066A0AE/S0748081400012418a.pdf/editors_preface.pdf%20https://doi.org/10.1017/S0748081400012418|journal=Journal of Law and Religion|volume=1|issue=1|pages=1–2|doi=10.1017/s0748081400012418|issn=0748-0814|doi-access=free}} Then Harvard Law Professor Harold J. Berman, Emory Law Professor Frank S. Alexander, and former Hamline University School of Law Dean Stephen B. Young are credited with spearheading and strongly supporting the creation of JLR.{{Cite web|title=Journal of Law & Religion Salutes 25 Years of Building Community and Deepening Understanding {{!}} Hamline University Law School in the Twin Cities of St. Paul, and Minneapolis Minnesota|url=https://www.hamline.edu/HUNewsDetail.aspx?id=2110|website=www.hamline.edu|access-date=2020-05-06}}{{Cite journal|last1=Allard|first1=Silas W.|last2=An-Na'im|first2=Abdullahi Ahmed|last3=Broyde|first3=Michael J.|last4=Green|first4=M.

JLR's inaugural general editors were Michael Scherschligt and Wilson Yates, and the editorial board included prominent scholars who would shape the emerging field of law and religion such as Douglas Sturm, Harold J. Berman, Edward Gaffney, Robin Lovin, and Thomas Porter.

In 2013, the journal moved to the Center for the Study of Law and Religion, based in Emory University's School of Law, where it continues to be edited and published in collaboration with the Cambridge University Press.{{Cite web|title=Journal of Law and Religion moves from Hamline to Emory {{!}} the National Jurist|url=http://www.nationaljurist.com/national-jurist-magazine/journal-law-and-religion-moves-hamline-emory|website=www.nationaljurist.com|date=8 August 2013 |access-date=2020-05-06}} The new editorial board's first issue was published in February 2014 (Volume 29, Issue 1). This issue focused on a symposium titled "The Pursuit of Happiness in Interreligious Perspective" featuring articles by the 14th Dalai Lama, Matthieu Ricard, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, Professor Michael J. Broyde, Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, Professor Luke Timothy Johnson, Professor Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Professor Vincent J. Cornell, and Professor Khaled Abou El Fadl.{{Cite web|title=Journal of Law and Religion: Volume 29 - Issue 1|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-law-and-religion/issue/F08BA15D32914148CA9FFE72CCEA47B2|website=Cambridge Core|language=en|access-date=2020-05-06}}

In 2021, to better fulfill its mission of publishing "cutting-edge interdisciplinary, interreligious, and international research on critical issues of law and religion,"{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Journal of Law and Religion - Information|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-law-and-religion/information|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=|website=Cambridge University Press}} the journal added eleven new co-editors (see Editorial Board) with diverse disciplinary backgrounds and research interests from institutions in the United States, Europe, Africa, and Asia.{{Cite journal|date=2020|editor-last=Allard|editor-first=S.|editor2-last=Broyde|editor2-first=M.|editor3-last=Perry|editor3-first=M.|editor4-last=Witte|editor4-first=J.|title=Editorial|journal=Journal of Law and Religion|volume=35|issue=3|pages=359–360|doi=10.1017/jlr.2020.55|s2cid=229548656|doi-access=free}}
