RST 100/129 - From Cloister to CrossFit: Religion in Medieval and Modern Worlds

3 Credits
Offered periodically
What makes a medieval monastery different from a modern-day brewery or gym? What is religion? What is secularism? This course covers medieval and modern religions through critical reading of texts, films, and artwork drawn primarily from Christianity, but also neighboring traditions (Judaism, indigenous religions) and modern movements (science, nation-building).
