Welcome to Fordham Theology Commons

Our mission is to advance the critical and constructive study of the ideas, symbols, narratives, beliefs, and practices of religious traditions, with particular attention to the rich diversity of Catholic Christian theology.

In the tradition of Jesuit education, we promote the informed exploration of faith and justice from ecumenical, interreligious, and global perspectives. We aspire to do so in an imaginative, interdisciplinary manner that values the important contributions of the humanities, arts, and sciences. We seek to foster theological study and dialogue for the academy, for ecclesial communities, and for the public sphere. Professors and students collaborate to cultivate an environment for undergraduate and graduate studies that prizes academic excellence, lively theological inquiry, and care for students’ intellectual and personal growth, with a view to the implications of learning for living.

In the sore absence of the kind of informal exchanges in the carpeted spaces of Duane Library or the fluorescent halls of Lowenstein, we wanted a place where members of the Fordham Theology community could gather, share news, questions, ideas, random thoughts, and maybe a place even for serendipitous connections.

Get inspired, find a book or tv show to tuck into that will excite your theological imagination. Learn about fellowship and job opportunities. Join (or start) a Theology reading group. Explore new interests in Theology and Religious Studies. This is a collaborative space to build our community together!

It's hard to stay connected right now, and we are all, in different ways, stretched thin by the realities in which we are doing our work. So we are especially grateful for the time you are taking to continue to invest in our Theology community, and the untold and unseen efforts you are putting in on so many fronts  to advance our work!
