Across the globe, people have asked questions such as:
- Where/How did the world begin?
- Who are we?
- What is our purpose is in life?
These questions, when viewed through the prism of different religious traditions, have a variety of answers. Throughout human history, religion has played a role in history, literature and current events. Without a basic understanding of various religious traditions, students often can’t relate to what they read in fiction and non-fiction texts. In this survey class, we will explore some of the major faiths practiced by people worldwide. For each one studied, we will learn about:
- Sacred objects
- Festivals
- Traditions
- Sacred places
- Rites of passage.
We will discuss in class a variety of religions and cultural connections. The class is highly interactive. Students are expected to participate.
Students should expect about one hour of homework. Students are expected to complete any readings assigned prior to class. They should be ready to discuss. In addition, there will be a few papers and/or projects for the student to complete.
NOTE: Registration deadline is March 1, 2022.
There must be a minimum of FIVE students to run this class.
