Description
In a day of increased globalization, this course is designed to acquaint the student with the collective wisdom of the World?s Religions. Students will explore the phenomenon of belief shared by all peoples, even when their ultimate concerns are vastly different. It will attempt to introduce students in a pluralist era, such as ours, to the common spiritual core which is shared by all major religions of the world. As our globe shrinks and communication increases, the need to be sensitive, tolerant, and inclusive of others is inevitable for survival. This course is a cross-cultural experience in exploring what people hold to be important in the traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
