RELGST 1145 - GRECO-ROMAN RELIGIONS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will introduce students to religious texts and traditions in a formative era of Western civilization and culture. Our focus will be on the variety of religious expression in Greco-Roman culture, which flourished in the geo graphical area of the Mediterranean basin during the first five centuries of the common era. We consider debates about nature of the gods and access to them (through oracles, rituals, and magic), the emergence of the idea of the holy person, and a variety of religious traditions as expressed in prayer, ritual, and art, and religion and politics.
