H251 Histories of Religion

3 credit(s)
This course introduces students to the history and culture of one of the world’s major religions by exploring its central teachings, texts, figures, terminology and geographical reach; its origins and its emergence as an outgrowth of its broader historical context; its institutional and doctrinal development over time and place, especially its transformation and reinterpretation in the course of its interaction with different cultures and changing historical circumstances; the larger cultures associated with it; and its nature as one of many syncretic, varied, and evolving religious expressions that have historically interacted with, and shaped, one another.
