REL 304 What is Spirituality?
What is spirituality, and what role does it play in the transformation of human beings? The course examines this central question through the lens of three different but related traditions: Islamic mysticism (Sufism), Jewish spirituality (Kabbalah), and the broadly secular genre of writing known as Self-Help. In addition to course readings, students will do exercises that reflect upon their own transformative journeys. Active participation and lively discussion are highly encouraged.
