4.00 Credits
This general introduction to both the subject matter and the study of religion calls attention to the fact that, although human beings have been religious in enormously varied ways since the dawn of history, the study of religion is a recent development, originating in Western Europe and America during the last century. What is there about the modern West that has led it to study religion on a global scale? Subsequently, attention is turned to the subject matter of religion, drawing selectively from the wealth of material that may be regarded as religious: past and present, literate and non-literate, Eastern and Western. The course concludes by considering the place of the study of religion in the contemporary liberal arts curriculum, the discipline's relationship to adjacent disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, and the distinction between the study and practice of religion.
