In addition, Religious Studies examines in detail the ancient Near Eastern religions, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Christian thought and institutions, and Asian religious traditions (taught in conjunction with the Department of Asian Studies), including their development in texts, art, architecture, and traditions.
