REL 100/118 - Pilgrimage in Nature (Core/First-Year Seminar)Three or Four Credits
Fall 2017 & Spring 2018
Stories in scriptures and the experiences of pilgrims remind us that religious life does not always take place indoors. Much of human religious experience occurs outside, in nature. We will explore this dimension of human religiosity through examination of Christian, Islamic, and Buddhist pilgrimages to such places as Lourdes, Mecca, and northern India, as well as the broader themes of nature symbolism and nature mysticism.
