About the Global Center for Religious Research
The Global Center for Religious Research (GCRR) is a non-religiously affiliated academic society and publishing house that brings together the world’s leading scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences for the academic study of religion. As a social-scientific society, its students and scholars are devoted to the scientific, philosophical, and historical study of humanity’s various religious belief systems. The GCRR engages in an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural study of what people believe, how those beliefs have evolved over time, and why they continue to affect global systems today.
