Overview

Features

Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, it’s hard to deny the influence of religions in the world. There is no answer to the question of what it means to be human that does not intersect with religion.

The manifest power and pervasiveness of religion in the “real world” stands in inverse proportion to its miniature status in the university, where religion is often reduced to a personal matter of belief or a product of its sociopolitical environment.

The work of the Religion faculty and students at Reed College aims to correct this inverse relationship. It approaches religions as the ground on which people answer profound and practical questions about collective identity, the nature of reality, legitimacy of power, or the purpose of existence.
