The study of religion is an academic discipline that borrows social scientific and humanistic methods in order to interpret religious phenomena worldwide. Scholars of religion use a range of tools—historical methods to think about how religions change over time; comparative methods to analyze rituals or texts in different religions; anthropological methods to study how religion shapes human cultures and societies. Still others use literary-critical methods to understand religious texts and how they are used. It is a diverse, creative field in which scholars talk across disciplinary boundaries. Because of this, the study of religion attracts creative, versatile students willing to learn different ways of thinking about and interpreting human life and culture.
The religion concentration at Harvard allows students to explore some of the most profound issues that face human beings. In our program students have access to a range of human experiences that have produced much of the greatest literature of the world, inspired its art and philosophy, and shaped its moral consciousness. Religion concentrators consider issues like the meaning of community, the nature of human nature, the problem of God and the meaning of life, suffering and death. Our program is unique in allowing students to ponder these "big" questions in rigorous, critical ways.
