Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

MALS - Master Arts Lib Studies

Description:

Seeks to understand religion, not as a psychological experience, nor even as a set of doctrines or beliefs, but as a rhetorical symbolizing of experience. The aim of this course is to introduce how the rhetoric of religious symbols influence and enrich our daily living. The centrality of rhetorical symbolism to religion is evident whenever we think about the activities most often associated with religious practice. The Bible, sacred rituals, prayer, sermons, stories, religious tracts, and books are all communication artifacts.
