REL 233 - Christian Traditions

1 course unit
Christianity is not and never has been a single set of beliefs and practices; instead, the religion is marked by diversity of thought and action.  The purpose of this course is to engage the variety in the tradition through the exploration of rituals and beliefs held by different Christian communities around the world and through time.  In addition to primary and secondary readings, students will also explore the visual arts, architecture, and music as manifestations of Christian diversity.  Additional themes for consideration will include the place of the Bible and its interpretation, the role of church leaders and their relationship to the divine, and ethical/moral differences that are present within the tradition.
Meets general academic requirement HU.
