The study of religion provides insight into the fascinating variety of ways in which people live their lives in light of the sacred. Religious Studies is a dynamic and necessarily multidisciplinary field involving ideas and methods drawn from philosophy, anthropology, history, art, literature, sociology and theology, among other fields and with an emphasis on critical and careful thinking, honest analysis, and an openness to learning about new ideas. It is also of critical importance in understanding a range of complex social issues spanning nearly every aspect of life, including politics, ethnicity, economics, public policy and family life.
