Comparative Study of Religion

Description

The course Comparative Study of Religion at Maryland University encourages students to investigate the most important and pressing issues pertinent to the comprehension of both individual and collective human life. Concentrators look at issues including the importance of ritual practice, varying views of what it is to be human and what it means to be divine, and the comparative study of what it means to be alive, to suffer, and to die. The ability to think critically and with knowledge of historical and cultural context about the complex role of religious history, imagination, motivation, and memory in national and international events is a sign of competence in religious studies
