Religion-Focused Packages – Delve into a specific religious tradition, exploring its core beliefs, rituals, texts, and ethical teachings.
-
Culture-Focused Packages – Study a specific culture’s traditions, values, customs, and historical influences on modern society.
-
Comparative Topic Packages – Examine a single theme—such as beliefs about the afterlife, cultural taboos, or moral systems—across multiple religious or cultural traditions.
