Coordinators: Ruth Ward, Bob Gottfried
This is the second semester of a year-long course intended to serve as a general introduction to the basic religious concerns of humanity and the ways in which religions have developed in Eastern and Western history, giving intellectual, moral, and institutional expression to the meaning of human existence.
In the fall semester of 2024 the World of Religions course featured presentations on Baha’i, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Shinto. The spring 2025 semester will showcase Gnostic Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Pantheism, Beethoven’s Religion, American Indian Religions, and Mormonism.
