Ringkasan program

This program teaches students that intellectual inquiry need not be the enemy of faith and that understanding different systems of belief and practice can nurture one’s spiritual capacities. But students also learn that what may be a source of wisdom and light in theory has often caused enormous suffering in practice. In seminars, students and faculty explore important questions of belief and action while studying visionaries, laypeople, and critics from many times and places. Religious Studies offers courses in world religious traditions, with particular commitments to biblical and South Asian traditions, religion in America, and religion’s place in modern societies. Courses are offered from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and methodologies and encourage collaboration with other areas of study. The integrative courses foster this focus on multiple ways of knowing and methods of inquiry in related fields. Students acquire a deep sense of the interconnections between systems of thought and practice, both past and present. They learn to approach other traditions with critical respect and to pose the same questions about human destiny to their own traditions.
