Course Description
and Overview - Welcome to RLST 100,an exploration of many different
religions and religious movements from across the world. In addition to daily
classroom discussions, students will express observations in writing and note-taking
assignments, reviews of readings and films, and analysis of documents and
imagery. In his landmark study, The Closing of the American Mind, Professor
Allan Bloom noted, “Only Socrates knew, after a lifetime of unceasing labor,
that he was ignorant. Now every high school student knows that. How did it
become so easy?” While the postmodern world has provided new methods of
evaluating the past, it has also created a climate in which truth and fixed
meaning are often considered unattainable. The instructor’s job is to stimulate
students to think about the course material in relation to their understanding
of the world and challenge them to hold those notions alongside competing
ideas. It is his hope that students develop and carry a driving curiosity about
the world and their place in it through this course and throughout their lives.
It is the perpetual quest for knowledge, not its ultimate attainment, which
gives education its true meaning.
