Here is a list Fuller's 5 most influential journals in Christian church history (English language) and their brief descriptions:
1. Journal of Early Christian studies

Journal of Early Christian Studies focuses on the study of Christianity in the context of late ancient societies and religions from C.E. 100-700.

2. International journal for the Study of the Christian Church
ISSN: 1747-0234 Most Recent SJR Rank: .181
The International Journal for the Study of the Christian Church (IJSCC) has a unique ecumenical and interdisciplinary focus on the theology of the Church, its contemporary life and its history, ministry and mission. The journal seeks to promote the exploration of new and traditional approaches to ecclesiology, and cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary exchange of research and scholarship over a wide geographical area, as a means of shaping understanding and knowledge of the Christian Church.

Vigiliae Christianae contains articles and short notes of an historical, cultural, linguistic or philological nature on early Christian literature written after the New Testament, as well as on Christian epigraphy and archaeology. Church and dogmatic history are dealt with as they relate to social history; Byzantine and medieval literature are treated as far as they exhibit continuity with the early Christian period. ● Leading journal in its field. ● Extensive book review section giving a critical analysis of other titles related to the field
4. Church History and Religious Culture
ISSN: 1871-2428 Most Recent SJR Rank: .139
Church History and Religious Culture (formerly: Dutch Review of Church History) is a long-established, peer-reviewed periodical, primarily devoted to the history of Christianity. It contains articles in this field as well as in other specialised related areas. The journal has established itself as an unrivalled resource for the subject and offers you an easy way to stay on top of your discipline.
5. The Journal of Ecclesiastical History
ISSN: 0022-0469 Most Recent SJR Rank: .115
The Journal of Ecclesiastical History publishes material on all aspects of the history of the Christian Church. It deals with the Church both as an institution and in its relations with other religions and society at large. Each volume includes about twenty articles and roughly three hundred notices of recently published books relevant to the interests of the journal's readers.
- A non-English journal of note is:
Revue d'histoire ecclésiastique
ISSN: 0035-2381 Most Recent SJR Rank: .12
Presents articles covering the entire history of Christianity. All of the articles are based on original source research and often develop innovative aspects in the area of historical methodology. Since 2011, articles may be written in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian. Besides articles, the Revue offers critical reviews of the most important recently published books dealing with Church history in the larger sense and a chronicle, by country, of relevant conferences, distinctions, doctoral theses, deaths, etc. The Revue is jointly produced by the faculty of UCLouvain and UKLeuven.
- Another journal of note at the intersection of mission history and social science is:
ISSN:1874-8945 Most Recent SJR Rank: .138
The peer-reviewed journal Social Sciences and Missions (SSM) provides a forum for exploration of the social and political influence of Christian missions worldwide. The journal does not aim at studying missions for themselves, but rather as "total social facts", an idiom, which history, anthropology, sociology or political science can use to analyse reality and give it meaning. Christian missions represent a unique site of observation for colonial/ postcolonial studies, religious and cultural pluralism in the public space, and the evolution of religious organizational models. Social Sciences & Missions accepts articles in English and in French.
