REL 342 - Catholicism

Credit Hours: 3
The Catholic Church is perhaps the oldest continuing institution in the world, influencing over a billion people since its beginnings in the first centuries after Jesus. This course has three main emphases: 1) an immersion in the best Catholicism has to offer-that is, the lives of its saints and its art; 2) an introduction to contemporary Catholicism, including its ongoing controversies; 3) a field experience. By the end of the semester, students should not only have knowledge about Catholicism, but also understand how the institution and its people have helped to shape western civilization.
