About the Department
The Martin Marty Center for the Public Understanding of Religion builds
on a longstanding conviction of the Divinity School that the best and
most innovative scholarship in religion arises from sustained dialogue
with the world beyond the academy. It contributes to this dialogue by
offering scholarly perspectives on the religious questions facing the
wider public, while encouraging faculty and students to situate their
scholarly questions within a broader cultural frame of reference.
The University of Chicago Divinity School is a space and a community
dedicated to some of the most important, most exhilarating, and most
humbling questions of humanity. The School is animated by two impulses
seldom found together: by the critical study of religious traditions,
objects, and ideas, and by the implications of those traditions and
ideas for how faith might be practiced, life might be lived, and
community might be realized. The conjunction of these approaches in a
Divinity School situated at the very center of one of the world's great
research universities has produced many scholars, teachers, leaders, and
ideas that have had a profound effect upon the possibilities for
thinking about religion, and thereby a profound effect upon the world.
