RELIG 170 - Life Stories: Personal, Spiritual and Intellectual Journeys

(3)

The course goal is to develop a deeper understanding of the religious life and journey, as well as to encourage students to articulate their own journey. This goal will be achieved through a multidisciplinary examination of religious autobiography and biography in a variety of religious traditions and genres. This course will explore the unique and intensely personal nature of individual spiritual experiences as well as the complexity of their relationship to the tradition of which they are a part. (Offered fall - even years.)
