More than 350 students are now enrolled in undergraduate religious courses, the largest number in six years, said the department chairman.
‘‘And I think it’s quite clear Den- that this is no revival of religion in the Billy Graham sense, but rather students are considering the claims of religion as a live intellectual option in their development,” said Dr. Robb.

Religion has a place in the modern world, but is should not be accepted through blind allegiance, said Dr. Robb.
