Overview

Historically, human beings have articulated our greatest moral ambitions and our most sublime understandings of what may be possible for us to achieve—in relation to one another and to the rest of the cosmos—within the myths, hymns, rituals, and institutions of varied religious traditions.

Goals

The goals of the Religion department are to help Denison University students:

Understand the nature of religion
Understand both Abrahimic and Asian religious traditions
Develop critical and analytical skills for examining the various religious systems offered in a pluralistic society
Examine their own religious perceptions

Many religion majors and minors conduct year-long senior research projects, the majority of which are converted into theses for recognition.

Mission Statement

The academic study of religion is a multidisciplinary exploration of the many ways in which religion functions in the lives of individuals, American society, and the global community. It critically examines the role of religion as an active force that has social, ethical, and ideological consequences. Students learn to assess how religion has shaped their cultures, their family lives, their suppositions of what matters and what is ethical, and their sense of who they are. Students thus gain the analytical, relational, and expressive skills essential to a liberal arts education.
