Our list reflects the breadth and diversity of religious studies in the contemporary academy. We publish scholars who study religion across a wide variety of time periods, world regions, and religious traditions, using methods drawn from history, classics, philosophy, literary and cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, and political science.
