The Canadian Theological Society (CTS) is a learned society founded in 1955 to promote the study of theology.[1] The society is a founding member of the Canadian Corporation for Studies in Religion (CCSR) and the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS).[2][3]

As a member of the CCSR, the Canadian Theological Society sponsors Studies in Religion/Sciences Religieuses, a bilingual journal that addresses a wide range of topics in religious studies and theology. It also supports and contributes to the book series published by the CCSR.

The society meets annually at the Canadian Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences,[4] which is sponsored by the CFHSS.
