ISLS 314 - Religions of the World: Human Wisdom in the Face of the Sacred

Tenets of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are examined within the context of the social, historic, cultural, geographic, political, and economic milieu in which they developed and flourished.
