Description
The Divinity School’s core mission is the thoughtful, reflective, compassionate, and careful exploration of religion—from how it is practiced, understood, engaged, and enacted by its adherents, to how it can be comprehended as a phenomenon that affects the lives of believers and non-believers alike. The School’s world-class faculty work alongside some of the best students in the country, exploring together what religion can and might mean in the lives of individuals and within the shared experiences of communities across the city of Chicago, the nation, and the world.
