Ringkasan program

This program is designed to expand a student’s understanding of the vast range of responses to challenges found throughout human history and in contemporary society. Indeed, the study of religion is as much the study of human ideals as it is the study of human suffering. In analyses and discussions of: ancient and modern didactic, poetic, and theological texts, devotional imagery, and religious organizations, Religious studies courses explore how people from a broad range of traditions across the historical spectrum grapple with perplexing questions, vexing moral dilemmas, emotional turmoil and challenges to social welfare. Religious studies examines: practices and teachings that cultivate the ultimate in human potential, claims to perfect harmony with divinity, salvation and enlightenment.
