Additional Material
Introduction to Religion: Comparative - Class Syllabus
The approach of this course will use a variety of literary and theoretical writings to approach the concept of religion in interdisciplinary, comparative, and humanistic manners. We will not take the typical route of approaching a religion through studying its formal, traditional, and ritualistic aspects, for these dimensions often have little to with the “lived” and “new” experiences that shatter how religion is stereotyped through the lenses of academia and the media.
