PHL 90 — Introduction to Religion
Religions are belief systems explaining the world and the place of human beings in it in terms of sacred truths. These truths may be passed down orally or in writing (scripture) in the form of stories, songs, commandments, dances, or ceremonies. This course looks at six different current religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam from the points of view of their history, beliefs, practices, and philosophy.
