Overview

Highlights

From the ancient Mediterranean world, to rural farmlands in South America, to the suburbs of the US Midwest, to the booming metropolises of Asia, religion is and always has been an integral feature of human life. Religion influences our personal and communal lives, our politics, the shape of our societies, and our most cherished values. Thus, in an increasingly pluralistic world, the ideal global citizen will be one who can navigate the complexity of religion with intellectual creativity, humility, and passion.

Our Religious Studies program from Rhodes College develops three broad skill competencies in our students. First, language and thought: our students critically read, study, and interpret the Bible and other religious texts, then identify, summarize and present complex ideas in accessible ways. Second, analysis: our students assess worldviews, thought systems, and practices using a range of theories and methods that engage issues concerning politics and ideology, healthcare, economics and ecology, migration and cultural geography, ethnicity and race, and gender and sexuality. Third, research: our students evaluate the claims and effects of religion, analyze human problems related to religion, and provide productive answers to enhance the wider world.
