American Theological Society

The American Theological Society has created a new website, powered by the WordPress content management system. Located at both https://amtheosoc.org and https://americantheologicalsociety.com, the new site allows members to log in and access information specifically for the society’s elected membership.

The website also presents a wealth of information about the history and members of the society, which is America’s oldest theological association. This information is derived from the society’s archives, which are housed in the Princeton Theological School’s library. It is an invaluable record of theological research and teaching within North America since 1912. Please note that the society’s archivists are eager for information about the history of the society, including any corrections to information presented on the site.

If you have suggestions about site content that you would like to see, please contact the society’s webmaster at amtheosoc@gmail.com.

The American Theological Society condemns all forms of racial injustice, including theological forms of racial injustice. Theological forms of racial injustice are encountered and incited whenever churches, religious gathering places, and theological institutions and organizations align themselves against the advancement of black people and/or refrain from taking an ethical position on racial matters under the guise of color blindness. In response to the murder of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis, we endorse the public outcry and embrace the anger we feel in response to yet another incident of black suffering that is indicative of the persistence of oppressive systems and structures. Our Society affirms our resolve to address race as a theological problem and to cooperate with black theologians and audiences in our theological investigation of social justice and racial reconciliation.
