ANT 120 - Intro to World Religions

Religions manifest themselves in a diversity of human expressions. This course will provide an introduction to religious phenomenon as they coalesce around philosophy and theology, art and aesthetics, space and place. We will explore religions as a means of sharing, living and expressing the sacred through art, geography, and culture. Methodologies from anthropology and the history of religions, psychology and sociology, textual studies and ethno-musicology will guide our investigation into a variety of religious communities. No tradition, theorist, or discipline will be covered comprehensively; instead, we will make a cursory investigation of several of the world’s major and minor traditions.
