After studying Module 6: Lecture Materials & Resources, discuss the following:<\/p>\n
As we have journeyed throughout the semester we have focused our studies on identifying major themes and different teachings of the religions of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. We have either directly or indirectly focused on developing a deeper understanding of each religions\u2019 theology, sacred scriptures, code of ethics, prayer and worship rituals, and a brief history of the religion. For the most part, we have looked at each of these religions independently, but now as we begin to wrap up our course we will revisit these religions and begin to examine them critically and ask the intriguing question: What similarities (and differences) do these religions share amongst each other regarding their teachings of a specific topic?<\/p>\n
For your final written report, you will select a theme, from the list below, and recapitulate each religion\u2019s teaching on that particular theme. You will then complete a comparative analysis on the significant similarities that each religion has with Catholicism specifically \u2013 not just Christianity in light of the topic as well as delineate their distinct differences. Once you have completed the comparative analysis, you will reflect on the following question:<\/p>\n
How can (or how has) the knowledge gleaned in this report and in this course change(d) your perspective\/outlook on dialogue with people of other faiths? ‘
\nYou can share a personal experience that you have had with someone of a different faith background or how you think having a better understanding of these different teachings will help shape your future interactions with people of different faiths.<\/p>\n
