 Aims
The student should learn:
- to critically approach the religious phenomenon as it appears in today's major religions: their visions of the world and of the human condition, their relation to the scriptures, their rituals, ethical principles, ways of salvation, etc.;
- to use the basic documentary sources in the field of the historical and comparative study of religions.
Main themes
Through studying selected themes, the major living religions (Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism) are presented and compared in order to show their significant distinctive features and their mutual differences as well as their deep similarities. Comparative critical analysis teaches students how to ignore superficial similarities and discover deeper or hidden correlations and homologies.
