Description

This course surveys the major western religious traditions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Emphasis is placed on the histories, literatures, belief, and practices of the so-called Abrahamic faiths. Consideration is also given to a comparison of and interactions among these three traditions, as well as to new religious movements (e.g., Mormonism) emerging from within these traditions.

Guest registration opens January 12
