How have traditions that emerged in one corner of the world centuries ago shaped the cultures of some two thirds of the world population? What beliefs, practices, and forms of community have they inspired? What are the similarities and differences among these traditions? In this course, students will explore the origins, scriptures, symbols, histories, practices, spiritualities, and interactions among the three major Abrahamic traditions.

I wish this course was in-person rather than online. It would have been valuable to discuss with and meet peers from similar and different religions. It is also just as much of a history course as it is a religions course, so if you enjoy history you will find it interesting and easier.

This course was fully online which was a bit of a letdown though likely made it easier. The content was interesting though 90% of what I learned came from textbook readings which makes you wonder what you're paying for. Overall would only recommend to those who are somewhat interested in religion, though it wouldn't be too difficult for anyone to pass.

Quite modernized and progressive. Overly secular.
