Within our broader offering of courses in Religious Studies, we have a number of courses that focus on the study of Christianity from multiple perspectives.    Our courses are both historical and ecumenical in their scope.  In other words, students will study Christianity not confessionally (advocating for the inherent truth of Christianity) but historically as a coherent and influential world religion.  Christianity will also be studied ecumenically insofar as our courses generally attend to the many distinctive religious traditions (e.g., Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, Protestantism) that fall under the umbrella of Christianity.  We do have some courses that attend, however, to the unique contributions or distinctive dynamisms of one particular Christian tradition.  Students who wish to pursue a major in Religious Studies have the option of developing a concentration in Christian Studies, which would include twelve hours of credit, six of which must be at the 4000 level.
