RLG 205 - Judaism (3 Cr.) (JS 205 ) (LER-TXT)
This course offers a general introduction to Judaism, its history, beliefs, and practices. Through an analysis of primary sources and consideration of diverse secondary materials, we will encounter Judaism as a dynamic tradition, in which innovation and change merge through a relationship and dialogue with the past. Topics of the course will include scripture and commentary, ritual and liturgy, the life-cycle, and festival calendar. We will also consider some of the ways in which Jewish tradition has responded to and has been shaped by the challenges posed by the modern world. Fall semester.
