Religious Beliefs and American Values of Divinity School Students

Abstract

This study had two purposes: one of which was to see if there was any relationship between certain types of religious beliefs and American values, and the other of which was a descriptive study of the values and beliefs of students in the Bachelor of Divinity program. Divinity school students were selected to be the respondents because it was felt that they would be acutely aware of their religious beliefs, and would be better able to select statements about their beliefs than the average person.
