| Description: | FACE TO FACE COURSE.REL-290-01 This seminar explores personal stories of finding, losing, and living religion in Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. We will discuss both memoirs and graphic novels that present stories of self-discovery, encounters with truth, conversion, disenchantment, and deconversion. We will compare the variety of rituals, doctrines, philosophies, myths, ethical stances, institutional involvements, etc. that characterize their religious experiences and discoveries of self and God. The course will conclude with students "impersonating" the figures we have read as they conduct round-table discussions and debates (in character) about the salient issues surrounding these religious lives. |
