Planned frequency of offerings: annually This course provides a basic overview of major world religions. Specific focus will be given to religious traditions from within Southeast Asian Traditions (e.g. Hinduism and Buddhism), East Asian Traditions (e.g. Daoism), West Asian Traditions (e.g. Judaism and Islam), and Indigenous Traditions (e.g. Navajo/Diné). Students will examine three forms of religious expression in each tradition: theoretical, practical, and sociological. Special attention will be given to their central beliefs and teachings, their ritual and spiritual practices, and their social and political manifestations in the contemporary global context. As students learn about each religious tradition, students will also address a number of important issues in the academic study of religion and acquire several different skills for observing, appreciating, understanding, and engaging the world’s religious traditions; students will also do that critical engagement with other religions in relation to their own faith tradition. Field research in the growing local multi-religious community will be included as well.
Prerequisites for master’s students: TR1001; CC1001 or CC1002; instructor approval Planned frequency of offerings: annually Encounters of people of various cultures and religious faiths have become more acute in our globalized and globalizing world. These encounters have triggered an array of responses and reactions, some wholesome and, at other times, destructive to our social life. We need to find wholesome and creative ways to dwell together if we are to thrive in our shared and highly interconnected world. This course explores ways of thinking, dwelling, and acting that promote life-giving ways of relating across religious differences. Adopting this posture, this course, moreover, provides an avenue for students to develop theologies of religions that are faithful to their traditions while hospitable of others and to learn relevant ways of being church and of doing ministry in a religiously diverse world.
