The Religious Research Association (RRA) is an association of researchers and religious professionals. [2] [3]

Contents

It was created in 1951 as the Religious Research Fellowship, although it existed informally as far back as the 1920s as a partnership between the Institute of Social and Religious Research and the Federal Council of Churches. [2] Since 1958, it has held an annual lecture series in the name of H. Paul Douglass. [4] Since the 1970s, it has met annually with the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion. [3]

It publishes the Review of Religious Research four times a year (September, December, March, and June). [3] [5] It contains articles, book reviews and reports on research projects. [5]
