PHIL 1304 World Religions

Religion is intimately involved in the ways that people come to know themselves, each other, and the world around them. World Religions examines topics such as: how sacred stories provide people with a worldview; how religious claims and values shape and legitimize social structures and behavior; how various types of rituals function; and how, ultimately, religion serves as a reality-defining institution. These topics are studied in light of religions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and the traditional religions of Africa, North and South America.
