Course Overview

Religious Studies at Liverpool Hope explores the practice and significance of religion in contemporary society through the study of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, African spiritual traditions, and Indic traditions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. A balance between the study of religious texts and lived religion in the contemporary world is maintained throughout the degree. Religious Studies pays close attention to what supporters of these religions think, do, and believe and explores the fundamental differences between various groups within each faith.

Throughout your studies, you will analyse and contextualise the thinking behind key religions to appreciate their history, spirituality, and relevance to the social and political landscape. Our teachings are research-informed, and you will be taught by highly-qualified academics, all of whom have a PhD in the area, are active and published researchers and are committed teachers. We work hard to provide top-quality educational opportunities for all our students, and the Department has recently invested heavily in learning resources; combined library holdings in Theology and Religion are now more than 100,000 volumes.

Above all, the Religious Studies degree treats religions as lived faiths by looking at how they are followed in Britain and across the globe today. You acquire skills in the different methods of studying religion. The degree examines profound questions of faith and life in intellectually challenging, illuminating, and engaging ways. By drawing out the complex issues surrounding religious belief and expression, the degree equips you to engage with the pressing questions of our time and to play your part in promoting religious and social harmony.
