| Description of Material Being Covered - Sec. 501: This course surveys the main classical religious traditions of the world, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The approach taken is academic and comparative. We will examine methodologies for religious studies, and the worldviews and practices of each tradition's followers. In addition, we will compare and contrast religion in the pre-modern world with religion in the modern world. This will include investigations into how followers of each religion reconcile the demands of religious tradition with the demands of modern culture. |

| 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. |
