Institution:

Hendrix College

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces students to religious traditions rooted in Asia. It examines a wide variety of primary and secondary sources to help students recognize and understand the many different ways in which Asian religious communities have attempted to understand the nature of the world (both this world and beyond), human society, and the individual person's place therein. It includes attention to narrative and philosophical texts, ritual practices, religious experiences, social relationships and historical developments. Since this course, while survey in nature, does not include Abrahamic religions, students who take this course may also take Religion in a Global Context.
