Sound Ideas

This collection represents a sample of faculty work from the Department of Religion, Spirituality & Society. The Department of Religion, Spirituality, & Society faculty seeks to understand the nature and importance of the world's great religious traditions in historical context and to voice some of the profound questions and answers about human nature and destiny that these traditions offer. Toward this end, several individual traditions are studied in depth and comparatively by faculty to determine how they shape human existence and culture through such expressions as myths, symbols, rituals, moral systems, and ideas.
