Theology, Philosophy, and Healing Traditions

This interdisciplinary program examines theology, philosophy, religious history, and traditional systems of healing through a critical and comparative lens. It explores Latin Christian learning, church and university structures, the Tudor period and Henry VII, Catholic ritual and magical traditions, Chinese medicine, and South Asian ideas of chakras and subtle energy. Learners will practice close reading, structured reflection, and clear analytical writing while distinguishing historical belief systems from evidence-based medical claims. By the end, they will be able to compare religious and intellectual traditions with context, precision, and respect.
