Course Summary

Faith is inseparable from the art, music, literature and moral thinking of all societies. This unique course explores how religious and ethical traditions shape creative expression. You'll look at both historical developments and contemporary issues such as: - how does the media shape public understanding of religion? - how does the Bible influence art, music and film? - how have authors of fantasy and science fiction explored religious and ethical ideas? Our staff include theologians, philosophers, historians, biblical scholars and sociologists. This diversity strengthens your studies and broadens your views. As part of the course we encourage you to use video, art and other creative formats to explore theological ideas. No previous academic experience of Religious Studies is needed to do this course. **Combine with another subject** Religion and ethics can also be studied alongside philosophy in our joint honours programme. You can also combine them with other subjects in our Liberal Arts BA.
