REL 2162 - Women, Men and God

Institution:

Curry College

Subject:

Description:

Historically, the nature of religious experience has been studied and defined by men. In the last half century, women scholars have shown that "experience" in general and "religious experience" in particular differs when viewed through the lens of one's gender. Men and women have found critiques of patriarchal models to be liberating in their own quests for religious awareness. This class will serve as an introduction to religious experience and feminism through the works and writings of extraordinary men and women of faith, including theistic and non-theistic traditions. Attention will be given to the interests of class members, but we could consider persons as diverse as Starhawk, Dorothy Day, Gandhi, and Thich Nhat Hanh. This course will appeal to men and women who would like to examine religious experience with an open and inquiring spirit.
