TH 375 Comparative Theology
The course introduces the basic teachings and spiritualties of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Islam. The religions will be approached both historically and theologically, seeking to determine where they converge and differ from Christianity on such central issues as death, meaning of life, and the nature of the ultimate Mystery. The course will also examine traditional and contemporary Catholic and Protestant approaches to the major religions of the world. Ultimately, the course aims to foster a greater understanding of what is essential to Christian faith and practice as well as a greater appreciation of the spiritual paths of others.
