THEO 1432 Hinduism and Christianity in Dialogue
It has been said that to know one religion is to know none. In this course, we seek to gain an understanding of two of the major world religions, Christianity and Hinduism, through a comparative and dialogical approach of the ways in which these traditions have come to terms with some of the basic existential questions and religious aspirations of humanity. We will focus on conceptions of evil and salvation/liberation, on ritual practices, ethical principles, and their respective views of one another. Satisfies Core requirement for: Theology (Sacred Texts and Traditions)
