REL 224 - Religion and Literature

4 Hour(s)
General Education P1 and CCD

This course asks students to understand literature from around the world in the context of religious texts, traditions, and practices. Students will also approach religious texts as literature contributing to both literary and religious traditions. This twin perspective provides students a unique and accessible window into religious life and encourages them to understand living cultures as constantly producing their religiosities. Students will consider Western and non-Western literature and religions as distinct but also as in conversation with each other.
