    Description
    This course examines the origins, doctrines, practices, people, and events leading to the development of the world's major religions from ancient times to the present. Through an objective study, students will gain an appreciation for how Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam simultaneously influenced and were shaped by political, social, and economic institutions. The beliefs of the indigenous peoples of the Americas and Africa and contact with foreign religions will also be considered. (formerly HUM 104)
