The practice of the presence of God is the heart of religious life. Courses in religion at Wilmington College are intended to challenge, promote, and deepen the understanding of God in human experience. To this end courses are offered that introduce students to the Bible and explore religious beliefs, behaviors, and practices of the most prevalent religions of the world. Philosophy is the love of wisdom. Wisdom involves clear, logical, and creative thought, and an earnest attempt to understand reality, knowledge, ethical responsibility, value theory, and the standards of beauty of any society.
Philosophy attempts to integrate all human thought and experience into a meaningful whole.
