Cultural & Historical Studies of Religion

Overview

This concentration focuses on comparative contemporary analysis of interreligious, multicultural and contextual religious experience. Students will learn about the spiritual, ethical, and intellectual teachings of world religions by investigating a particular religious tradition. In addition, they will reflect comparatively upon the ways these multiple perspectives have shaped human culture. In keeping with the vision of St. Thomas Aquinas, whose work engaged ideas of non-Christian thinkers, this area will examine intersections between philosophical and religious thought.
