AA in Religious Studies

Description

The program in Religious Studies brings together the rich history of biblical and theological studies here at Simmons College of Kentucky with the academic study of religion common at most universities and colleges across the United States. We offer both traditional courses like Introduction to the Old and New Testaments, Christian Theology, Church History, and Preaching and culturally relevant ministry courses such as Ministry in the Black Church, Introduction to Social Welfare and the Church, Urban Church Growth, The Church and Social Action, and Conflict Ministry. We also offer innovative Special Topics courses in Bible, Theology and Ministry. Students will learn about the religious ideas and traditions that shaped history and influence the world today. They will learn to think critically about faith and its varied contours and practices in the world, particularly philosophical and religious questions and ideas rooted in the African American tradition. These courses will equip students to be intelligent, innovative, and bold leaders who will impact our world and revitalize our communities.
