The scientific study of religion is explored through scenes in research labs, interviews with research scientists, explorations of the Boston University campus and surrounding city, and glimpses into religious communities in various locations. Overviews of projects within the Institute are woven with a general discussion about how scientists explore, understand, and explain religious communities and behavior. What are the sensitivities of interdisciplinary research; the complexity of "religion" as a study object; dialogues between religion and science; the limits of science; and the value of scientific approaches to religion.
