Religious Studies 233: New Religions of Twentieth Century America UD
4.00 Credits
Hiram College
This course will explore the emergence of what Robert Elwood calls "non-normative religious movements" in our culture over the pastcentury. There is a long history of new religions in America, but we will concentrate on the twentieth century and more particularly on those that emerged in the 1960's and 1970's. Many of them are American adaptationsof imported religions (the Hare Krishna movement) and many of them began here (Scientology). We will also look at the Unification Church (Moonies), the Branch Davidians, the New Age, and others. We will look at the reasons for their emergence and at the theology and practice of the religions themselves.

Religious Studies 243: The Religious World of the First Century

Hiram College
In the Greco-Roman world of the first century, religion was very much alive and well. Judaism spread through the cities of the Roman empire, and Christianity was on the move, but the traditional deities still received their due, people continued to consult Apollo's oracles at Delphi and Didyma, the Great Mother flourished under various forms, emperors living and dead had become gods worthy of prayer and sacrifice, the mystery religions with their unusual rites were welcoming initiates, and the planets, omens and fate remained a daily source of anxiety and expectation. Designed for the general student, and using the extensive slide library of its instructor, the present course therefore introduces students to this fascinating world of first century religion. No prerequisites. A revised version of this course is offered for three credit hours as Religious Studies 242. A student may receive credit for only one of these courses.

Whether we call it the Old Testament, the Hebrew Scriptures, or the Tanak, this document provides us with an exciting witness to ancient Israel's walk with its god. Beginning with Abraham and Sarah it carries us from Mesopotamia to Egypt, through the Red Sea, and into the land of promise. It introduces us to kings both good and bad, recounts God's demands for a just society, describes the horrors of Jerusalem destroyed, and continuously recalls God's parental love for Israel. In a very special religious language it tells of how the world was formed and of the ultimate goal of that creation, provides both consolation for the downtrodden as well as songs of love for the bride and her groom, and even tells a great fish story! Thus, in this course designed for the general student we use the results of modern Biblical research in order to gain an appreciation for a most remarkable body of literature. No prerequisites. Students taking this course may not take Religious Studies 244.

The New Testament is a collection of twenty-seven fascinating writings from the first hundred years of Christianity, and it was created to be the Church's norm for right belief. In this course designed for the general student we examine many of these writings from the perspective of their original purpose. In other words, we examine who wrote them, who first read them, when they were written, and, most interestingly, why they were written. For example, the Apocalypse (Revelation) was prepared by an Asian Christian at a particularly desperate time within the early years of the Church and reads most interestingly when understood from that perspective. No prerequisites. A revised version of this course is offered for three credit hours as Religious Studies 246. A student may receive credit for only one of these courses.
