The course examines the components of religion and explores what makes a tradition religious. Students are introduced to core beliefs, sacred texts and spiritual practices of the major world religions as well as some of the emerging religious movements. Throughout the course, students will examine the impact of religious traditions on contemporary issues. Total of 45 hours of lecture.
