STS 250 - Across Religious Boundaries: Understanding Differences

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
Topic for 2015/16a: Interpreting Religious Fits, Trances and Visions. (Same as RELI 250 ) This course is an introduction to ways of understanding and interpreting religious experiences. The course analyzes religious experiences from a variety of (mostly American) contexts, with attention to how religious people themselves describe experiences and how scholars try to account for them. It examines moments of sudden conversion, insight or inspiration, nature mysticism, and ritual practices that are performed by Muslims, Christians and others. Mr. White.
