Throughout your studies during Week #1, you have been introduced to a variety of concepts about the importance and benefits that are to be found in the academic study of religions.
In this Week's Forum highlight and discuss (3) specific benefits you have found through your research for your personal study of religion.
In your reply you will need to be specific in identifying your benefits, why you have chosen to highlight these benefits, and how you hope to incorporate these benefits in your study of religion in this course.
Then discuss with your fellow students their selection of the benefits they have chosen and the strengths and weaknesses you might find in each for the study of religion.
Be sure to provide strong academic support for the reasoning behind your selection and in your replies to others that will demonstrate your understanding and application of the course concepts.
