Oberlin has included religion as an integral element in the study of the Humanities for at least two reasons:

(a) The liberally educated student must understand religion as a dimension of human life which, whether reckoned for good or ill, has had a profound and decisive effect on our conception of human nature, destiny, and action;

(b) The liberally educated student needs to recognize the interplay between the religious dimension itself and areas of life studied by other disciplines within the Humanities.
