The major Asian religions from India, China, and Japan evolved quite differently than did the Abrahamic religions of Western culture. This course begins by examining various facets of the world at the time these Asian religions were born, and how they developed over time. We will discuss their unique, as well is their common, views and practices.
Readings: Smith, Huston, The World’s Religions, Harper Collins, 1991 (paperback). Order books from Anthology
