ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

Imagine a place where your only task as a scholar is to pursue your research in the context of a sustained interdisciplinary conversation on theological questions with outstanding colleagues from other fields of inquiry. In the academic world today, the Center of Theological Inquiry is that unique place. Each year, we convene in Princeton a resident Colloquium of advanced research scholars from around the world and from a range of academic disciplines who welcome the Center’s ecumenical, international, and interdisciplinary conversation. Resident membership in the Center is given at the Director’s invitation solely for the purpose of full-time research on your designated research proposal and on-going conversation with colleagues in the Colloquium. Members gladly keep all other commitments to a minimum. The goal of this great endeavor is nothing less than transformed scholars whose work will change the way we think, worship, and live. Every facet of our Program is designed to support this singular goal.

Director of Research, Thomas Hastings

“To reside at the Center of Theological Inquiry is to combine intensity with duration, for a truly interdisciplinary and ecumenical adventure.” - Anne Marie Reijnen
