Subject:

Description:

Throughout history, people have attempted to explain the divine, and how and where human life and spirit intersect in the world. As human beings, we struggle to understand the events of our lives in a broader context, searching for meaning to make sense of it all. This course will examine the answers some people have found to their deepest questions, in the form of many of the world's religions including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Special attention will be given to encounters with people of various faiths including field trips to a mosque, synagogue, Hindu temple, and Christian church where students will be asked to reflect on and then transcend their own cultural-religious point of view. 3 credits.
