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

This course examines the ways in which the world’s largest religious communities answer the enduring questions of the relation of humanity to the infinite and 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.
