This course provides an introduction to the three major religions that share a common belief in the God of Abraham: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We will look at the history, beliefs, and practices of each religion separately, as well as the way they interacted. These interactions - sometimes peaceful and creative; sometimes violent - have been a major shaping force in Western civilization, from the development and transmission of Greek philosophy through the Crusades, the Holocaust and the ongoing definition of "Western values." The study of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam leads to a deepened understanding of principles of theology and ethics, as well as current issues in religious and community life.

It is often said that what is needed in modern life is more "spirituality" - a balance of inward and outward awareness that is often associated with eastern religions. But what do these traditions really mean for people who practice them? This course provides an introduction to the major belief systems and practices of eastern and southern Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Shintoism. We will look at the evolution of each of these religions, consider the ways they have inspired individuals and shaped civilizations through cosmology, ritual, literature, and art. We will also look at the ways that these traditions influence societies, including our own, that are far from the religions' places of origin.
