Interreligious Studies

Since 2000, the Faculty of Theology at the University of Oslo has been developing a new area of research and teaching under the heading of "interreligious studies" - see horizon document (pdf) for "Interreligious Studies at the Faculty of Theology" and presentation of the corresponding research group (with links to interreligious courses).

The following overview illustrates the international growth of interreligious studies as a new scholarly field.
