| Department: | Rhetoric |
| Description: | This course investigates the rhetoric of religion and religious practice. 皇冠足球比分_澳门皇冠体育-在线|平台@ will identify rhetorical theories that can be applied as methods of rhetorical criticism to offer insights about the symbolic significance of religion, religious identity, and religious practice. In so doing, we will ask: Is religion a force for good? How is religion used to advance freedom, justice, and greater concern for a common good? Throughout the course, students will consider a range of historical and contemporary rhetoric, in local and global contexts, drawing from voices in Christian, Jewish, Islamic, and Indigenous faith traditions. Students will read essays of rhetorical criticism, encounter historical and contemporary religious texts, and produce an independent rhetorical criticism on a topic of their choosing. This course is restricted to sophomores, juniors and seniors; or with permission of the instructor. |
