This course examines how religious symbols, sacred texts, rituals, rhetoric, and institutions can be appropriated for violent ends. Through an examination of primary religious texts, students will examine potential sources for violent religious ideologies such as monotheism, favored sons, purity codes, martyrdom, radical dichotomies between self and other, competition for shared sacred space, and messianic, eschatological, or apocalyptic drama. These paradigms will then be tested through several case studies, such as mass suicides at Jonestown, the troubles in Northern Ireland, the persecutions of the Falun Gong, the rise of the Taliban and al-Qaeda, and other movements in human history where violence was suffered or perpetrated under the guise of legitimate religious expression. 4.000 Credit Hours 4.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Theology Department
