[10] Études has reflected the evolution of the Catholic Church in France throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, maintaining significant influence in intellectual life.

Since 2014, it has also featured specialized columns: François Cassingena-Trévedy and later Anne Lécu for Religion; Thomas Gomart for International; and Jean-Philippe Pierron for Society.

The final section, "Carnets," covers cultural news, including critiques of exhibitions, films, and reviews of around forty books.

The editor-in-chief, always a Jesuit, is supported by a committee of laypersons from various societal fields (academics, senior officials, journalists).

Current members include Guillaume Cuchet, Cécile Ezvan, Jean-Marc Ferry, Étienne Klein, Mazarine Pingeot, and Thomas Gomart.
