REL 175: Religion in Film (original) (raw)

Description: This course uses film as a lens to explore a range of religious experiences and traditions. In the first part of the course we explore what makes film distinct as a form of creative expression, what makes religion a distinctive form of human experience, and what these two areas might have in common. The first half of the course introduces through film a number of key concepts in religion: nature, myth, redemption, gnosis, and the cosmos. The second half of the course uses films to explore several of the world religions: East Asian religion, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
