Atkinson's Religious Studies program offers you the opportunity to explore the western religious heritage of Judaism and Christianity from secular, historical, cultural, archeological and literary perspectives. Through a variety of important texts -- including the recently discovered Dead Sea Scrolls, the Gnostic Writings and works from Apocrypha, and Pseudepigrapha literature -- you will deepen your understanding of the historical and cultural foundations of religion and contemporary religious practice.
You can even participate in a guided tour of sites in Israel and Egypt as part of the program.
