TH365 World Religions

Prerequisite: TH 105 or equivalent This course offers genuinely Christian theological exploration of the various major non-Christian religious, cultural, and ideological systems of the world (e.g., Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Chinese religion, secularism, etc.) and is based on Nostra Aetate of Vatican II and other magisterial documents of the Roman Catholic Church. Additionally, the course will focus on the special conditions of evangelization with respect to each system. The course does not represent an exercise in "comparative religions" or "religious studies," but rather a detailed reflection, based on the fullness of Catholic truth, on the "wisdom traditions" that man has created in various times and places. Offered as needed.
