DESCRIPTION
This course investigates what religion is and why it remains so potent a force in the world today. We will examine the definition of a religion and survey the major world religions (African Traditional Religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam), as well as postmodern religious relativism.
This course is designed to introduce you to the world's major religions, as well as to explore some crucial questions about religion: What is religion? How can someone compare religions? Are they all true? Why are people drawn to religion? We will explore these and other questions together through lectures, class discussion, and student panel discussions (see course requirements below).
