Exploring Interfaith Sex Education, Bailey Lewis
Exploring Interfaith Sex Education, Bailey Lewis
Honors College
Sacred Sexuality explores the intersections of religion and sexuality.

I surveyed the sex education class participants after the class to analyze their opinions of the sex education class, interfaith dialogue, and how their spirituality or religious perspectives inform their beliefs around sexuality. Overall, the sex education class was highly recommended and gave an interesting look into how faith and sexuality interact. While the sex education class …

Soteriology In Mainstream Monotheistic Religions: The Messiah Conundrum, Jay Fox

Sociology Faculty Articles and Research
Social scientists often explain religious effects in terms of religious group affiliations. Typically, researchers identify religious groups by denomination or some broader popular categorization, such as “fundamentalist” or “evangelical.” To capture religious differences more effectively, Steensland et al. (2000) propose an intricate classification of American denominations that takes into account the theology and historical development of various American religious traditions to predict individual attitudes and behaviors. We believe that equal care and attention should be devoted to the development of key measures of belief that may cross denominational lines. In this article, we propose one such measure: personal conceptions or …
