Collaborative programme Encyclopaedia of Religious History in Portugal (online) | CEEC Institutional

The main activity of this project is the implementation of the collaborative programme Enciclopédia de História Religiosa em Portugal (Encyclopedia of Religious History in Portugal), with the aim of creating a dynamic online structure capable of offering the general public and the scientific community recent research on the religious phenomenon that can endure over time. In the specific field of research, the Encyclopaedia aspires to become the main structure for bringing together the History of the Religious Phenomenon in Portugal and the Portuguese-speaking world, and also a privileged space for disseminating the most recent research, promoting the production of content centred on historiographical issues, biographies, institutions and contexts, covering the religious in its multiple forms and organisational and identity processes (Judaism, Christianity, Islam and other religions).

The Encyclopaedia is entirely open to the study of the History of Religion as a whole. For this reason, it is being built as a platform for dialogue: 1) between the different manifestations of religious sensitivity; 2) between the different scientific communities that make up the Lusophone universe; 3) and between all the researchers and institutions that, outside this universe, dedicate themselves to similar research. Centred on History, the Encyclopaedia of Religious History in Portugal does not dispense with the collaboration of various other disciplines, such as Art History, Archaeology, Anthropology, Sociology, Geography, Theology, Philosophy and Literary Studies, whose contribution is decisive in the study of the religious universe. This is a collaborative programme that aims to mobilise a vast community of national and foreign researchers.
