Course Objectives-This course examines the concepts through which the religious life of human beings ismanifested / revealed. Through four interconnected units, there will be an attempt tounderstand the common wellsprings of religious belief which find expression in the form ofpractices that reveal vastly differing, often irreconcilable, world views. A related aim is toinvestigate religion as the sum of human aspirations, beliefs, hopes, rather than as Revelation

or Enlightenment available to the chosen few. The course uses the anthropological approachrather than the traditional theological and philological ones used for the study of religion.

Course Outcomes At the end of successful completion of the course the student will be able to:● examine religion through concepts that are found in some form or the other in most

cultures, however remote or primitive, sophisticated or modern. ● understand religion as not merely a canon of ‘revealed’ or taught texts and injunctions but

as the totality of human religious experience, beliefs, and practice.
