HIST 365 Religion & Warfare
The intersections of religion and warfare provides a powerful perspective for examining contemporary societies and cultures. Focusing on religions in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, this course will investigate how religion and warfare have historically interacted to develop cultures that shape identities, perspectives, and ways of life in contemporary societies. This will be accomplished in part through the historical study of cultural products related to religion and warfare, such as art, language, literature, pollical writings, and visual media. Junior/senior status recommended. Prerequisites: ENGL 102 and any three-hour Behavioral and Social Perspectives general education course. (General Education - World Cultures). Three credit hours.
