students explore the origins, historical developments, teachings,
and contemporary practices of some of the major world religions.

differences within select world religions to demonstrate the
diverse perspectives they offer to humanity. The readings examine

Eastern religions, Western religions, and the future of religion.

Christianity, Islam, and more. Students consider the interplay of
science, religion, and society, as well as new religious movements,
including Caribbean Santeria, Wiccan beliefs, and more. World
