REL 1.06 Getting Religion
This introductory course invites students to “get religion” as a historical and lived reality in the modern world by engaging religious belief, belonging, and behavior in the unfolding spiritual landscape of the Atlantic world, from the beginning of colonial encounters to the present era. Exploring how individuals, families, and groups of people “get religion” under free, un-free, and secretive conditions, students will examine key historical episodes of modern religious encounter, embrace, and exchange.
