loginHow is the study of theology and religions in higher education to be shapedin the coming century? There is obviously no single answer to that question.Empirically, there will of course continue to be great diversity in the waysthe field is formed, some of which do not accept that theology and the studyof religions should be institutionally connected. This diversity is rooted indifferent histories, interests, commitments and visions, but there is littleenough literature that engages with these in order to shape a fruitful futurefor the field. The lack is especially serious in relation to those settings wheretheology and religious studies go together, the number and vitality of whichincreased in the last quarter of the twentieth century.
