This means that humans are always seeing the meaning to life. Each person wants to know about their origin, their place in the world and where they are going. In an effort to answer these questions or to seek meaning humanity necessarily always turn to the religious quest. It is therefore significant that when one is seeking to understand humanity that one begins with the religious quest. Any neglect of this aspect not only cuts a person off from an understanding of the religious dimension itself, but such neglect diminishes the possibility for looking the central point of life where all other aspects or dimensions are integrated.
Religion is the most transparent prism through which one can see all dimensions of human life.
Because of its primacy, its pervasiveness, its control of our symbolic world, and culture, it affects our values and most profound concerns. It is no wonder that so many persons across the world find it necessary to study religion. And since the world is communal and plural today a study of world religions is especially significant. To help establish the global community and create world peace, the School of Religion and Theology of Greenwich University gives individuals of interest an opportunity to do graduate study and research in the area of Comparative World Religions. By the use of Distance Education students from across the world will find it exciting to participate in a this rigorous program of research.
