| Description of Material Being Covered: Our task in this class will be to examine the phenomenon of religion as a whole; not concentrating on any particular religion, but on the force of the "holy" that appears universal in the human experience and how it plays out in history. It is important to recognize that "religion" is not the same as "theology." Theology is the study of the divine, our attempt to reach out to a force or forces that may (or may not) far exceed the human experience. Religion is the man-made structure in which these attempts are translated into theory and practice on which human beings pattern their lives. There will be no presupposed religious or anti-religious standpoint from which our analysis will proceed. |
Required Books:
Will Deming, Retinking Religion, ISBN: 0-19-516981-6, Oxford, 2004;
Terry L. Givens, The Latter-day Saint Experience in America, ISBN: 0-313-32750-5, Greenwood Press, 2004. |
| Method of Instruction: Lecture and discussion. |
| Number and Types of Assignments: Requirements will include several short papers (one will involve a presentation), a mid-term and either a final take-home exam or a final paper. There is also a "fieldwork" requirement to visit and report on some group that practices a faith other than your own. |

To be announced. |
