DescripciónOur world is more religious than ever, and more religiously mixed than ever. In any given society, you will find people with religious beliefs and practices that differ from yours. Understanding these differing religious perspectives and practices is more important than ever before.

Through class lecture and discussion, this course investigates what religion is and why it remains so potent a force in the world today. We will spend the majority of our time together exploring the major world religions (African Traditional Religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam), as well as postmodern religious relativism.
