| 520 | |a This article explores the history and impact of the Research Institute for Theology and Religion (RITR) at the University of South Africa over the past 50 years, from its inception in 1975 to its current challenges and future directions. It examines the foundational contributions of key figures, including Professors Willem Vorster and Cornel du Toit, and analyses the development of the institute’s research agenda within the broader socio-political context of South Africa. The article discusses significant milestones in the history of RITR, including its response to apartheid, its commitment to contextual and liberation theologies, and its role in fostering interfaith dialogue. In addition, it addresses critiques related to academic freedom, the relevance of its research and the need for diversity and inclusivity in theological discourse. Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implication: The article outlines potential future directions for the RITR, emphasising innovation in theological education, interdisciplinary collaboration, engagement with global movements, and the cultivation of an inclusive scholarly community. Through this comprehensive examination, the article contributes to a deeper understanding of the RITR’s legacy and its ongoing significance in South African theological scholarship. | ||
