Religion has always been with us! Throughout history, it has expressed the deepest questions human beings can ask, and it has taken a central place in the lives of virtually all civilizations and cultures. As we think all the way back to the dawn of human consciousness, we find religion everywhere we turn.
Religious studies tries to study human religious behavior and belief from outside any particular religious viewpoint and draws upon multiple disciplines and their methodologies including anthropology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, and history of religion. Theology attempts to understand the subject matter of religion from within a particular religious tradition.
