This article calls for theologians, professors of religious studies, philosophy, sociology, and psychology to update their courses. It challenges leaders of religious organizations, ‘‘How can your institution incorporate these practices and benefit from them?’’ KEYWORDS: theology, psychedelics, entheogens, history, future, new religious movements, religious studies, mysticism, transcendence
