| Description: | RHE 370-01: Rhetoric of Religion. This course investigates the rhetoric of religion and religious practice. We will examine rhetorical theories that can be used to offer insights about the symbolic significance of religion, religious identity, and religious practice, as well as the intersections of religionand culture. In so doing, we will consider a range of historical and contemporary texts, including Puritan sermons, prophetic rhetoric, religious social movements, religious films, religious music, and U.S. civil religion. Course sessions will focus on reading essays of rhetorical criticism of religion and undertaking our own rhetorical analyses of religious texts. Students will undertake research on a topic of their choosing relating to the rhetoric of religion, culminating in an essay and presentation. The course counts toward the Literature and Fine Arts distribution requirement. |
