| Leigh Morrison, instructor of religious studies |
The Hill's courses in Religious Studies consider both humanity's perceived relationships with the transcendent and the many elements of our cultures shaped by those perceptions—elements which the Western world has typically grouped together under the category "religion." Typical offerings have covered topics as diverse as comparative religion, philosophical theology, the history of religion, religion in literature, and biblical studies. The successful student in Religious Studies may be highly devout, or may have no individual religious inclinations at all: but he or she should emerge with a deeper and more informed understanding of some aspect of religion as a phenomenon in human life.
