What kinds of courses are offered by the Theology Department?
The Theology Department offers a wide range of courses that cover most of the subjects normally included in the academic study of theology. Some courses focus on a particular religious tradition, text, or thinker, while others trace a particular question or theme across a variety of sources. Some examine the relation between religion and other realms of thought (science, philosophy, art, etc.), while others explore the private beliefs and practices of individuals. Most look at religion in a fairly objective manner, but some encourage students to examine their own beliefs and the beliefs of people around them.
