Religious myth and ritual is full of allusions to animals.  From the “Scapegoat” and the “Lamb of God” to the “Sacred Cow” and the “Chinese Dragon” animals are central to the symbolic representation and language of almost every religious tradition.  This course will compare and contrast the way animals are imagined and used in the beliefs and practices of several religious traditions.
Meets general academic requirement HU.
