Subject:

Description:

Exploration of the origins, primary beliefs, mythical and ritual expressions, and the social, historical and cultural implications of the primary religious traditions of the world. This exploration, directed toward an appreciative understanding of faith traditions, includes readings, reflection, discussion and activities designed to help students experience, as though from the inside, the meaning of a given faith tradition for those who practice it. In the process, students have the opportunity to reflect on and to deepen their understanding of and appreciation for their own spiritual and religious expressions. Readings for the course include a survey text in which contemporary adherents of the major religious traditions narrate their stories of faith. This course is designated as a humanities general education course. This is an approved diversity studies course.
