Course Description Comparative Religion offers the student an understanding of the world’s major belief systems. Each faith arises from a particular culture but has important truths for all of us. Students begin their journey of discovery by taking inventory of their own beliefs.  Then through readings, lectures, and discussions, they are introduced to the core tenets of each religion.  Students interact with guest speakers from a variety of religious traditions. Finally, the students choose and present research projects on religious topics of special interest to them.
