  • SEMESTER at SEA COURSE SYLLABUS University of Virginia, Academic Sponsor
    SEMESTER AT SEA COURSE SYLLABUS University of Virginia, Academic Sponsor Voyage: Spring 2016 Discipline: Religious Studies RELG 1005-101: World Religions Division: Lower Faculty Name: Patrick T. McCormick Credit Hours: 3; Contact Hours: 38 Pre-requisites: None COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is an introduction to the world’s major religions, particularly the influential religious traditions in the countries we will visit in Asia and Africa. To live and work in a global village where we interact with people and communities from different religious traditions we need to understand and appreciate these neighbors’ religious worldviews. In this course we will examine and compare the beliefs, texts, figures, rituals, and shrines of the world’s most practiced religions and explore how these traditions answer life’s “big questions” (the meaning of existence, what happens after death, how life ought to be lived, etc.) and how they help their members to negotiate life’s crises and passages, and how they have functioned internally, and in relation to those outside them, as means for unity, division, solace and/or exploitation. COURSE OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: • Demonstrate familiarity with the basic beliefs, practices, texts, and rituals of the major religious traditions, especially the dominant traditions in the Asian and African nations we visit. • Compare and contrast the basic beliefs, practices, texts, and rituals of the major religious traditions we study in this course. • Analyze the basic principles of interfaith dialogue, instances of religious conflict, and processes and consequences of religion’s being imposed or adopted • Demonstrate understanding of how religion has been viewed and critiqued as a resource for building more peaceful and just societies.
