Religion - Berry College

Religion from Berry College is a Campus Bachelor Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The academic study of religion differs from the faithful practice of religion. The goal in the classroom is to work toward a sympathetic but dispassionate understanding of religion as a human phenomenon without prejudice to the religious claims of believers. At Berry, you will concentrate on the comparative study of non- Christian traditions, religious and philosophical ethics, the Bible and historical Christianity. To put it simply, if the opportunity to analytically study some of the most profound texts the world has ever known inspires you academically, then this is the major for you. As you proceed through the curriculum, courses such as History of Christianity, Religious Themes in Contemporary Literature, Science and Religion, Scriptures of the World and Women in World Religions will provide you with the background necessary to engage in the academic study of complex issues while helping to improve both your critical-thinking and writing skills. In the process, you will gain a stronger understanding of a wide variety of religious presuppositions. View more details on Berry College .
