WELCOME
Religion has been studied at the University of Cape Town since 1967 and the Department is home to accredited journals as well as institutes that reflect the diverse range of research undertaken by our staff and students. Religious Studies takes as its subject, all religions, and their interaction with other aspects of life: intellectual, political and artistic. It is essentially pluralistic and is committed to no particular faith but endeavouring to understand each religion in its own terms, using the tools of textual, historical, sociological and philosophical analysis. We are thus concerned with studying all aspects of religion, particularly in contemporary African society.
