Statement on Studying Religion at 杏吧直播间 State University
Religious Studies (RGS) courses introduce students to the academic study of religious beliefs, practices, institutions and texts. In keeping with the mission statement of the American Academy of Religion, which emphasizes 鈥渁 context of free inquiry and critical examination鈥� in order to foster 鈥渄isciplined reflection on religion,鈥� RGS courses refrain from endorsing, advocating or espousing any particular belief system or worldview. Instead, RGS courses draw upon a range of scholarly methods including the arts, humanities, social sciences and physical sciences so that students can critically examine the origins, practices, historical transformations and cultural implications of the world鈥檚 many religious and spiritual traditions.
