A thematic introduction to the academic study of religion. Through examples drawn from a wide range of religious traditions, issues central to the field of religious studies in particular, and to humanity in general, are explored to include: How can we understand our own place and role in the cosmos? Are there really any moral absolutes? Why is there evil? Is there life after death? Readings are drawn largely from primary texts, some dating back to 2000 B.C.E., representing a wide range of traditions including Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Native American, African American, Ancient Babylonian, and Ancient Egyptian.

An introduction to the texts included in the Jewish Bible (the Tanakh), the Christian Old Testament, and the New Testament. No assumption is made that students have any prior familiarity with these texts. The course discusses how the Bible is understood and incorporated as authoritative teaching within the Jewish and Christian communities, as well as the historical development of the texts as understood from an academic scholar’s perspective. The course is designed to make students familiar with what is in the Bible, to give them a layperson’s “working knowledge” of the Biblical texts, and to provide them with a sense of how these texts function both as religious documents within two of the world’s great religious traditions and as historical documents used by scholars for the study of the history of religions.
-
