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.
