The object of BASR is to promote the academic study of religion/s, understood as the historical, social, theoretical, critical and comparative study of religion/s through the interdisciplinary collaboration of all scholars whose research is defined in this way. BASR is not a forum for confessional, apologetic, or similar concerns.

BASR pursues its aims principally through an annual conference and general meeting, a regular Bulletin, and a Journal of the British Association for the Study of Religions. Membership is open to all scholars normally resident in the United Kingdom.

The Religious Studies Project (RSP) is co-sponsored by BASR, IAHR, and NAASR.

BASR Bulletin

Correspondence concerning the Bulletin, including information and contributions, should be addressed to David G. Robertson. Deadlines for submissions are 15 October for the November issue and 31 April for the May issue.

The life and vitality of a publication like the Bulletin depends on the energy of the membership. In particular, we’d like to encourage postgraduate students to review publications – please get in contact if you’d like to review a specific volume. Please consider sending in items for News, Features and Conference Reports – the quality of the Bulletin relies on us all!
