From what perspective is Religious Studies taught? As befits a Religious Studies program in a secular, multi-cultural
and multi-faith institution, courses are taught from a historical, cultural,
archeological and literary point of view, not a faith perspective. Courses
are designed for those who like to probe, explore, question and discuss
issues of major importance.
