Armenian Religious Studies

Armenian Religious Studies explores the spiritual traditions, history, and cultural impact of Christianity and other faiths within Armenia. Central to this is the Armenian Apostolic Church, one of the world's oldest Christian communities, and its sacred sites like Etchmiadzin. The field examines theological developments, religious art, liturgical practices, and Armenia’s role as a Christian nation historically and today. It also considers the interplay of religion with national identity, cultural heritage, and social life, providing insight into how faith has shaped Armenia’s history, values, and continued spiritual life.
