The Religion, Society and Culture Department is a community of students and faculty engaged in the exploration of religions and their texts — not for theological purposes but as a significant facet of human existence since its earliest times. Using a historical-critical approach, our courses investigate the interconnections between religion and other di mensions of human life (e.g., the social, political, lit erary, psychological, philosophical, artistic) and the different ways faith has historically been expressed and practiced. To encourage creative and indepen dent thinking, we emphasize the study of primary texts, rather than simply reading what other people have written about those texts.

In Philosophy, lasting and adequate understanding comes when the materials of study are brought to life. This requires both patience and creativity on the part of professors, engagement and self-reli ance on the part of students. The Bishop’s experi ence in Philosophy is designed to foster all of these things. Many classes operate in the seminar format attentive to the particular interests of members, focused on primary sources and designed to invite students to take a leadership role in presenting their own work. Our students graduate having stud ied closely great works of thought, having learned how to communicate subtle and difficult ideas to others, having gained extensive experience in tech nical writing, argumentation and public speaking.
