TRS 393 Classic Texts of World Religions
This course has two objectives: (1) to expose students to the classic texts of a variety of world religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism, and Confucianism in order to promote basic religious literacy; and (2) to explore the concept of "scripture" as a cross-cultural category in religious studies by comparing how texts become canonical, and what canonicity means in practice as a text is read and used within its own tradition. For concentrators and qualified advanced students; permission of STRS associate dean for undergraduate studies required.
