Introduction

As you go through the course, there will be several opportunities for you to express your own thoughts on religious traditions - both on the philosophical basis we are studying here and on how the religious appear to you in the day-to-day world.

When learning about a new subject, especially one as integral to daily life as religion or philosophy, it is helpful to relate it to themes you're interested in already. Toward that end, I've listed some themes and topics you might want to consider paying attention to as you go through the material and the supplemental material.

Choose at least two themes from the list below. If you want to come up with your own, just email me. I'll probably add it to the list.

The idea is to be able to relate the material to a theme you're already interested in. I am not an expert on each of these subjects, which gives you plenty of room to learn from other teachers. Some examples are:

  1. input from newsgroups
  2. real-world experience such as interviewing people or visiting places of worship
  3. the media
  4. your own independent reading and travels

Topics and themes to chose from

  • architecture
  • art
  • children / family
  • evil / sin
  • gender and sexuality
  • music
  • poetry
  • rituals
  • women in the tradition
  • Suggest your own...
