How religious is Belmont University?

I am reasonably certain–not 100%, so please don’t take this as gospel (ha-ha)–that the required religion classes for non-religion majors are:

1) Understanding The Bible (Old and New Testament)

and

2) Spirituality in World Religions. (a comparative religion course)

Smithie: you make a good point. I can only speak from my experience as someone who does, as you put it, fit in with the majority culture.

It is interesting to note that a Rabbi spoke at Belmont today for one of the convocation lectures, but the convo credit was for the Academic Lecture category even though his visit was linked to the Spirituality in World Religion class.

Here’s a glimpse of this week’s convocation offerings:

I hope this helps. I am happy to recommend professors in the religion department if you’d care to PM me.
