5 Course Descriptions REL 1 INTRODUCTION TO RELIGION David O Leary 11 T 6:30-9:00 PM An introduction to the field of religion to give students an understanding of the basic elements of the subject: the major characteristics, the form and expressions, and the contributions of man s personal and social orientation. Also, brief overviews of five of the worlds spiritual/faith traditions; Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. RELIGION 21 INTRODUCTION TO THE HEBREW BIBLE Peggy Hutaff F+ TR 12:00-1:15 PM We will study the Hebrew Bible to become familiar with the works of its individual authors, and to gain an understanding of the historical circumstances in which they wrote, as well as to survey the historical development of ancient Israel s religious beliefs and institutions. Topics will include the life of Moses, the production of Israel s codes of law, the construction of theological language and imagery, the rise of the monarchy and the temple, accounts of creation, psalms and wisdom literature, and the lives and legacies of the Israelite prophets.
6 REL 35 INTRODUCTION TO CHRISTIANITY Michael Milway H+ TR 1:30-2:45 PM This course surveys the development of Christianity from the first century to the present. We will study the key figures, events and issues that helped shape the Christian tradition in a variety of cultural, social and historical contexts. In addition to exploring the major ideas, institutions and practices associated with Christianity, we will pay close attention to the diverse forms and expressions that Christian faith and life have taken in different time periods and among a range of communities. Cross-Listed with HIST 52 REL 41 CONTEMPORARY RELIGION IN AMERICA Elizabeth Lemons F+ TR 12:00-1:15 PM This course surveys the major teachings and practices of contemporary expressions of religion in United States to analyze interactions of religion and culture. Attention is given to Protestantism, Judaism, Catholicism, new religions, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Native American religions. We will focus on the diversity within and among these religious traditions by analyzing a variety of their manifestations. In particular, the course considers the ways in which different religious groups seek recognition and power. Even as we look at this diversity, we will assess if and how a majority religious consensus operates in the United States as well as if and how the experience of being American is unifying.
7 REL 45 INTRODUCTION TO BUDDHISM Joseph Walser 10 M 6:30-9:00 PM The history, doctrines, and practices of Buddhism in India, Sri Lanka, China, Korea, and Japan. Philosophical theories of the Buddha, meditation, and nirvana. Aspects of Buddhist social and institutional history. This course meets the Humanities and World Civilization distribution requirements and can be counted ONLY as one or the other. It also meets the East Asian Culture and Diasporas and South and Southeast Asian Culture culture options. REL 48 INTRODUCTION TO ISLAM TBD I+ MW 3:00-4:15 PM This course will begin with an overview of Muslim scripture and sacred history as seen by both Sunni and Shiite. It will present Muslim ritual, the religious disciplines of law, theology, and mysticism, and also popular understandings and practices of Islam. The class will end with an exploration of various manifestations of Islam in the Modern World.
8 REL 99 THEORY AND METHOD IN THE STUDY OF RELIGION Elizabeth Lemons D+ TR 10:30-11:45 AM The seminar aims to enhance students capacity to analyze and discuss theoretical and methodological issues in the academic study of religion. We will explore selected important modern texts that raise enduring questions about such issues as the nature of religious phenomena, their purpose in societies, and their comparability across cultures. In addition, we will consider recent work by scholars of religion that critiques earlier perspectives and/or raises new issues. Discussion of three case studies will facilitate analysis of the benefits and liabilities of various methodological and theoretical perspectives. Through analysis of significant approaches and issues, students will develop an understanding of their own presuppositions and perspectives in relation to the field of religious studies. Prerequisites: two Religion courses, or permission of instructor. Required course for Religion majors and minors

This course meets the Humanities and World Civilizations distribution requirements and can be counted ONLY as one or the other. It also meets the South and Southeast Asian Culture culture option.
