RELS 1304 Introduction to World Religions
Religion is intimately involved in the ways that people come to know themselves, each other, and the world around them. World Religions examines topics such as: how sacred stories provide people with a worldview; how religious claims and values shape and legitimize social structures and behavior; how various types of rituals function; and how, ultimately, religion serves as a reality-defining institution. These topics are studied in light of religions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and the traditional religions of Africa and North America. Enrollment cap: 35 students.
