– Devin Zuber '00, Osnabrück, Germany"Some of the world's top scholars on Swedenborg are teaching at Bryn Athyn, and that offers a really unique opportunity for learning about Swedenborg and his work in all their context—religious, historical, cultural—from their various backgrounds and expertise."
The study of religion is central to academic life at Bryn Athyn College. Religion majors have the opportunity to pursue a program that is unique to our institution. Nowhere else can you earn an undergraduate degree covering New Church theology and its special perspective on the Judeo-Christian Scriptures, world religions, and the application of religion to life.
Within the religion major, you can focus on evangelization, the history of the churches, the original languages of the Word, New Church philosophy, or education.
As a religion major, you'll study New Church doctrines in depth and complete a capstone project on a religious subject of your choosing. You'll also benefit from the resources of the Swedenborg Library and the New Church Theological School.
Combining Religion with Education
We offer a certification program in religion that prepares you to become a high school religion teacher. The program combines teacher preparation with solid instruction in religion, culminating in a semester of student teaching. We partner with nearby Holy Family University for certification training for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
