Religious Studies - Gonzaga University

Religious Studies from Gonzaga University is a Campus Bachelor Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Gonzaga's Religious Studies Major focuses on an intellectual appropriation of human experience that is religious and moral. It asks questions which connect us to classic texts: what did they mean, how have others been nourished by them, and what might they mean for us and our future. Our major stresses Christianity as an entree to the human situation, but it also requires study of other traditions. It stresses the ways in which religion and culture are and have been intertwined and draws on the disciplines of history, social science, psychology, philosophy, and literature. Tradition and community are basic themes in the course of study. The continuity of reaching up to the communities and texts of the past is concurrent with researching out to the changing demands of our modern and postmodern experience. Our majors are able to approach religious traditions in a faithful and critical manner that encourages them to reclaim their own religious experience and to appreciate the role of religion in history, politics, and letters. While students are encouraged to formulate a concentration with the major, all majors should have knowledge of one non-Christian religion , a detailed grasp of Christianity (including scriptures, history, theology, and applications), and a critical appreciation of the interaction of religion and society. With these basic tools in place, students may then choose to stress issues of church and ministry or the more general dynamics of culture and religious value.
