RLST 111 CM - Rebels, Radicals, and Religions on the Margins


Students will learn about religions on the margins and how religion served to differentiate some communities from the dominant culture. By examining religious radicals, this course demonstrates various responses from narrating a critical stance against the mainstream to more subtle ways of elevating radical elements as exemplary and positive contributions to larger society. This course will select several case studies from a variety of radicals in the early modern to the modern periods, such as the Anabaptists, Mormons, Davidians, Amish, Al-Qaeda, Sufis, Hasidic Jews, Aum Shinrikyo, Moonies, and Hare Krishna. CWS, HRT II.

Course Credit: 1.0
