Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

This course will explore two very significant figures in the history of religion and spirituality: Jesus of Nazareth and Siddhartha Gautama of the Sakyas. We will examine them first in their historical and cultural contexts, attempting to see what their lives and teachings were in their original situation. We will then discuss how their devotees have developed their teachings and applied them through the centuries, asking particularly about the relevance of these men and their teachings for today. Students will pursue their study of Jesus and the Buddha through readings, class presentations and discussions, and a final paper. Pre-1999 Competencies: HC-2, AL-5, AL-C.
