WRSP: World Religions and Spirituality

The World Religions and Spirituality Project (WRSP) is an online international scholarly consortium founded in 2010. WRSP is being developed primarily as a resource for religion scholars but also one that is accessible to students, journalists, and a general literate audience. The mission of the WRSP is to provide systematically organized information on the world’s diverse array of religious and spiritual traditions. At the core of the project are detailed group profiles that report on key elements of religious and spiritual organization. These elements include information on group founders, histories, doctrines, rituals, leadership, organization, and development. The full range of religious and spiritual groups are included in WRSP, with particular attention to newly developing traditions.
