    Abstract

    In the context of the separation of Church and State in the Netherlands a new arrangement for theology in public universities was introduced in 1876. Church-related systematic theology was replaced by philosophy of religion. In a recent book, Leiden’s last full professor for philosophy of religion, Willem B. Drees, draws on the work of his predecessors to document changes in the academic reflection on religion in the last century and a half. Papers from a symposium on this topic follow in this issue of NTT JTSR. The present contribution introduces the rise and fall of philosophy of religion at Leiden University.
