51-2506HN Religion Through Film: Honors

This course will consider many of the central categories used to analyze religious phenomena through pairing some of the most important theoretical contributions to the study of religion with films that are concerned with similar themes. We will ask: how does the relevant theory of religion cast light on the film? Does the film suggest revisions to the theory? Can we think of real-world examples that bear out one or the other? What light does film cast on religion? This is an Honors course and students need a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher to register.
