WELCOME

Religion has been studied at the University of Cape Town since 1967. Religious Studies is concerned with all religions, and their interaction with other aspects of life: intellectual, political and artistic; thus all aspects of religion, particularly within contemporary African society are discussed. 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. Our Department is also home to accredited journals as well as institutes that reflect the diverse range of research undertaken by our staff and students.
