H251 Histories of Religion3 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.
