The Department of Religion and Philosophy offers Berry students the opportunity to study a wide variety of religious beliefs and systems of meaning. The great religious texts of the major world religions are read and discussed with reverent scrutiny and critical diligence.
Philosophy takes up some of the same perennial questions as does religious thought.
Philosophers attempt to answer these questions through rational investigation. Apart from being interesting and intellectually stimulating in its own right, the study of philosophy helps students to develop the critical reasoning skills necessary in such professions as medicine, law, business, theology, teaching, journalism, and public service.
