The study of religion offers students an opportunity to inform themselves about the
major religious traditions of the world and to think critically and constructively
about religion as a dimension of human experience and a mode of human expression.
The core faculty in religion at WSU specialize in biblical studies. The curriculum
includes a variety of courses on the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, as well as thematic
courses which focus on significant issues in post-biblical Judaism and Christianity.
The department also offers a number of cross-listed courses, such as Women in Religion,
and Magic, Witchcraft, and Religion.
