專業(yè)概況
在這里學(xué)什么？
Today, as much as ever, it is crucial to understand the role of religion in the world. Many world events such as the Syrian crisis, U.S. Immigration debates, or controversy over marriage equality require a deep understanding of the role of religion in our culture.
Ball State's major stresses the many ways people participate in religion, and how this impacts various areas of their lives.
Whether you wish to better understand your own religion, or you are simply curious about other peoples’ religious practices, our program provides an excellent foundation.
What You Will Learn
Courses in religious studies address many dimensions and functions of religion within the world’s cultures. Additional topics include:
- religion and ethics
- advanced concepts in the Bible
- the complex role Islam plays in today’s world
- strategies for interpreting scriptures like the Bible, Qur’an and Bhagavad Gita
- what it means when someone claims to be “spiritual but not religious”
You’ll learn to use multiple approaches (e.g., anthropology, cultural studies, history, sociology, hermeneutics, and critical theories of interpretation) to examine the dynamic relationships between religion and other social, economic, and political structures. You'll gain a critical understanding of religious traditions, issues, questions, and values. You'll also cultivate an awareness of religion’s multifaceted influence on societies, and learn to appreciate the diversity of practices and beliefs in the world.
