Understanding Religious Differences
and Questions of Faith
Monday - Friday January
5-9, 2004
Thurman J. White Forum Conference Center (OCCE)
University of Oklahoma, Norman campus
|
This class provided
an introduction to the nature and study of religion with concentration
on five of the major religions, Judaism and Christianity, Islam,
Hinduism and Taoism. Judaism and Christianity were taught together,
as a continuous religious tradition in order to allow time for
three non-western religions and a final day for summarizing and
discussion of common threads and differences.
