Reed College, located in Portland, Oregon, was founded in 1908 as an independent, coeducational, nonsectarian college of the liberal arts and sciences. Committed to intellectual rigor and academic freedom, rejecting the establishment of intercollegiate sport and fraternal societies, and guided by an egalitarian spirit and meritocratic ideal, Reed has served for over a hundred years as a model of independent leadership in higher education.

The Marginalia Review of Books is an international, open access review of literature along the nexus of history, theology, and religion. MRB examines, critiques, and illuminates the traditions, institutions, discourses, and practices of religions and their believers. We aim to connect the academic and public worlds by providing an intellectually rich and broadly accessible conversation that does not merely summarize previous work but contributes new ideas.
