In this course we will undertake an odyssey of discovery of Global and Cultural Perspectives through the study of some of the world's great religions which are thought to be particularly representative of humanity's religious experience. We will learn to use the tools of scholarship to analyze the role spirituality, religion, and theology have in shaping personal, communal and global life. In particular, how Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and Islamic faiths and values enrich human life, empower wise, creative and responsible leadership in the service of others, and help fashion a more just world. Attention will be given to important sources, methods of analysis, and the interplay between expressed religious belief, theological claims, and moral action.
