Religion

Description:

In this course, we will investigate the relationship between religion and other spheres of society, such as politics, the economy, and education. Religion will be examined from a sociological perspective focusing on the work of classical and contemporary sociologists of religion. Our primary goal will be to discover whatever is common within the various forms of religious expression. We will respectfully seek to understand why and how certain social groups carry particular religious claims and traditions and we will analyze many different kinds of religious groups (cults, sects, churches, etc.).
