HISTORY & MISSION

The Divinity School is dedicated to the critical study of religion as a category and the religions of the world, their history, beliefs, and practices.  We advance the study of religion with the conviction that doing so not only enriches various publics but is of critical importance to our understanding of human societies both past and present. Recognized as one of the world’s leading institutions in the academic study of religion, the Divinity School brings together – and indeed has pioneered – multiple perspectives on and varied theoretical approaches to religion.
