Religion 387: ST:New Religious Movements Wilcox
3.00 Credits
Whitman College
Often called "cults" by those unfamiliar with them, new religious movements (NRMs) are exactly what the name implies: newly formed religions that develop either within established world religions or as offshoots of more obscure social or religious movements. The Jehovah's Witnesses were a new religious movement in the 19th century; contemporary NRMs range from the Unification Church (popularly known as the Moonies) to the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (popularly known as the Hare Krishnas) to the Church of Satan. This class will cover theoretical work on new religious movements as well as sociological studies of specific groups, with the goal of increasing students' familiarity with and theoretical understanding of NRMs as well as exploring the relationship of NRMs to their social context

Religion 388: ST:Gnosticism and Its Discontents Hart
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Whitman College
Gnosticism traditionally refers to a category of religion or religions defined by a belief in a "secret, redeeming knowledge" and an anti-materialist ethos. In this course we will be examining the source material usually associated with Gnosticism, looking at the themes, worldview and ethic they profess. At the same time we will also be considering scholarly critique of the use of the term Gnosticism as a category. Following the arguments of these scholars we as a class will question whether there really is such a thing as Gnosticism If so what is it or what defines it If not, why not And how then do we speak about the material once labeled Gnostic This course offers the opportunity to both study a particular religious tradition and to participatein the type of theoretical and methodological debates that underlie the study of religion as a field. Open to all students.
