The American Theological Society, founded in 1912, is the oldest professional theological society in North America. It has met at least once each year in various locations on the East Coast of the United States, lately at Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey. Membership is by nomination and election, and is limited to 100 people at any given time. The purpose of the American Theological Society is to foster research excellence in the various theological disciplines and to cultivate collegial relationships.

Membership 
Membership in the American Theological Society is by nomination and election by two-thirds of the members voting at the annual meeting. The society's membership is capped at one hundred. There are several categories of membership. Active members of the American Theological Society are those who regularly attend its annual meetings and regularly pay the annual dues. Sustaining members are previously active members who have not attended a meeting within the past three years, but who have continued to pay the annual dues. Inactive members are those who have not attended at least one meeting within a three-year period and who have ceased to pay annual dues for at least three years. Members-designate are those who have been elected to membership but who have not yet attended an annual meeting.

Executive 
The American Theological Society's business is organized by an executive committee consisting of a president, a vice-president (who is also president-elect), the immediately past president, a secretary, a treasurer, a program officer, and membership officer, and two at-large members. All are elected by the society's membership at its annual meeting.

미국 신학회 (American Theological Society)는 북아메리카에서 1912년에 창립된 가장 오래된 전문적인 신학회이다.  미국의 동부지역인 프린스턴 신학교과 같은 곳에서 적어도 일년에 한번은 모인다. 멤버쉽은 회원의 2/3의 투표에 의해서 지명 혹은 선택이 되는데 한번에 100명만 제한된다. 미국 신학회의 목적은 다양한 신학적 연구의 증진과 서로의 관계를 개선하는 것이다.
