One unit . Are religious "truths" divinely given or are thcreated by humans under the impact of cultural considerations We will unravel this issue by approaching the question from various perspectives. We will consider, for example, the psychological approach of Freud as well as the anthropological approach of Malinowski. We will also consider the manner in which Biblical scenarios are conditioned-if not determined-by historical and cultural circumstances. Also considered will be the psychology of Jung and his contention that religious symbols are the inevitable products of a "collective unconsciousness." We will conclude the course with an investigation of how religious symbolism is self-consciously employed-even manipulated- in the arts. The creative use ofsymbolism will be illustrated through an examination of various novels and movies. Cross-listed w/RE 209. No prerequisites. Offered as required.
