RELG 2700 - Women and Religion

Hours: 4
This course explores the status and roles that women have played and continue to play in the religions of the world and to historically reconstruct their unrecorded roles. Major texts will be examined in an attempt to recover the lost female voices of the great religious traditions: Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, pagan, ancient, African and other indigenous. This is a polymethodic, interdisciplinary and multitraditional course in which the horizons and perspectives of women’s status, role and image in society are expanded. In grappling with the many questions this course will raise, one result may be that of discovering implications for understanding oneself, whether female or male.
Notes: This course is also included in the Women’s Studies Minor.
