Over deze opleiding

Religion and Society

Learn to understand the changing role of religion(s) in society from Antiquity up until the present!


The Master History at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is broad-based and also allows you to specialise in a particular area of history. Religion and society mutually influence each other: important aspects of society find their expression in religion, while religion helps to determine the character of society. In the course of history the role and scope of religion in society fluctuate, and society and religion are both not static or uniform. Using written sources as well as material culture, we study such subjects as religion, ethnicity and politics, religious minorities in the Middle East, the gradual separation of Church and State during the western Middle Ages, globalisation, migration and religion, the rise of private alongside public forms of worship, dissent and devotion during and after the Reformation and modernity and the twin reactions to it - secularism and fundamentalism. It is also possible to focus specifically on the history of Protestantism in the Netherlands. This specialisation seeks to combine a variety of historical approaches, including cultural anthropology, archaeology, philology and digital humanities.
