Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

The purpose of this course is to survey some of the main currents in Korean religion through the study of selected religious traditions that have flourished among the Korean people on the Korean peninsula anciently and in contemporary times. These religions include Shamanism, Confucianism, Christianity, and indigenous new religions. We approach these religions by focusing on the people-shamans, sages, and saints-who exemplify these traditions, as well as the search for personal welfare and prosperity that form continuities despite the differences in doctrines, beliefs, and practices.
