About

Widening Horizons in Philosophical Theology was a five-year project to advance philosophical theology, defined as a theology resourced by methods and insights from within systematic theology and continental philosophy.

The project team was led by Prof. Judith Wolfe, Professor of Philosophical Theology at the University of St Andrews.

The project had two phases:

  • The planning phase, entitled New Directions in Philosophical Theology, which spanned September 2019 to August 2021. This project phase laid the groundwork for the main phase through a series of field-building activities.
  • The main phase, entitled Widening Horizons in Philosophical Theology, spanned September 2021 to August 2024. This phase supported twelve two-year research projects advancing the project vision at a network of institutions. The projects, which were chosen by international competition, are introduced on the projects page.

This project is generously supported by the Templeton Religion Trust.
