CATEGORY: PHILOSOPHY & RELIGION
DESCRIPTION:
Over the centuries, religions have spread their messages and extended their spheres of influence via the same routes traversed by traders and travelers. We’ll examine this process by tracing the development of various beliefs from early polytheistic and Zoroastrian concepts to the five major religious beliefs of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism. The trail corresponds to changes in political, economic and cultural patterns around the world. Religious ideas are not incubated in vacuums; they are products of philosophy, social interaction and political winds. This is a repeat of the popular Spring 2014 course.
