Overview
Within each area, at Lewis and Clark College on the Religious Studies program you will explore such issues as the nature and social context of religious texts; the development of religious doctrines in situations of both cooperation and contestation; the dynamic relations among religious, political, economic, and cultural life; the role of religion in constructions of gender, race, and class; and patterns of change within religious communities.
We also investigate the very idea of religion and the varied ways peoplereligious practitioners as well as secular scholarshave sought to understand this category of human thought and action.
