The purpose of this course is to acquaint the student with the basic elements of the study of religion. We will examine what religion is and analyze the major elements of religious experience in the context of a variety of religious traditions.

This course introduces students to the Hebrew Scriptures as history, story, and literature. The importance of this literature for religious communities (Jews, Christians and Muslims) as well as its influence on the Western literary imagination (from Shakespeare to Tolstoy to Faulkner) is difficult to overemphasize. The approach to study in this class is informed by historical critical methods of scholarship, in addition other academic approaches will be welcomed, such as literary criticism, feminist criticism, liberation theology, socio-historical approaches, etc., especially when raised by students in the class. Prerequisite: RS100A. Satisfies the second institutional requirement in religious and theological studies. Three hours a week.

The course examines representations of the divine in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament as developed in current scholarly debates. The investigation focuses on selected biblical passages within their literary, historical, and cultural contexts. The course also introduces students to the hermeneutical complexities of reading texts that are regarded "sacred" in Judaism and Christianity but often stand in sharp contrast to doctrinal teachings about the divine. Discussions about the appropriations of these texts in contemporary religious, political, and academic discourses feature prominently. Prerequisite: RS100A. Satisfies the second institutional requirement in religious and theological studies. Three hours a week.
