REL-1300 Lecture 1: REL1300 Jan 7 Notes
Document Summary
After review, portfolio when we put papers together and revise them as a whole; what i have to say about what i learned about world religions. One artifact that can have six parts, can include pictures open ended: 40% In every assignment: some indication i mastered the course materials/i came to class and read; interpretation of course content evidence based and insightful. Six constellations/religious traditions: buddhist, hindu, islamic, christian, jewish, native. Example: look at isis to see how religion can generate hate. There is a surprising amount of poetry that goes into their esthetics; singing, poetry reading, writing of poetry often done by isis followers; communal weeping is more common than car bombing . Dreams of paradise; actual glimpses into heaven and whatever they associate w paradise; this causes social bonding ( soft power of isis)
