Introduction
The study of religion represents an essential ingredient of a liberal arts education by encouraging sustained reflection on being human. In doing so, we seek to combine critical analysis with sympathetic imagination, allowing us to understand more fully the ‘data’ of vast, diverse and influential religious traditions and the human beings who uphold them.
Toward these ends, our field utilizes a tremendous breadth of conceptual tools to foster understanding of religion in all its richness, drawing from anthropology, archaeology, history, literature, psychology, philosophy, politics, sociology and theology. Our course offerings reflect an abiding commitment to the study of the traditions that have indelibly shaped our own society, as well as an active engagement with a broad range of the world’s religions that presently constitute our global environment. At Hendrix, students pursue their interests in religion through varied activities, including textual studies, fieldwork, international travel, one-on-one interviews, film studies, artistic projects and service-learning.
