Department of Social Theology & the Study of Religion

Welcome!

Conveniently situated at the heart of modern Greece, the historic city of Athens, the Department of Social Theology and the Study of Religion, part and parcel of the School of Theology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, is a true starting block for a deep interdisciplinary and cross-cultural dive into established world religions as well as emerging religious movements, and with an eye keen for the culturally multifaceted and socially ever-changing worlds of the Mediterranean and the Near East.

The School of Theology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) is organising an International Congress of Christian-Orthodox Theology in Athens, 24-28 November 2024, under the aegis of the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece.
