REL 100/114 - The Journey Toward Religious Maturity (Core/First-Year Seminar)

Three or Four Credits
Fall 2017 & Spring 2018

The course takes an interdisciplinary approach to examining the process by which a person achieves an adult faith in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Drawing from psychology and anthropology, we explore the phases of religious development in relation to myths and symbols, and we apply that understanding to a specific person and to a theological issue, while also considering how to read, critically and analytically, a non-religious text through the lens of religion.

General Education Attribute(s): REL 100, for 3-credits, fulfills the Religious Studies Cornerstone.
