His 1230 H World Religions and Cults Honors

This world religions course gives students an overview of the 5 major religions in the world. Entering adulthood and college, students will have a comprehensive understanding of how these religions have expanded. This one-trimester course will introduce the students to the following 5 major contemporary religions of the world: Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, and Hinduism. During the last 2 weeks of class, the course will focus on cults and other dangerous organizations that prey on individuals who are susceptible to cult leaders. The students will discuss the types of people who become involved in cults and they’ll learn about therapies to help individuals recover from the control of these cults. The students can either write a paper comparing the 5 religions, investigate cults, or research current religious wars. After reviewing the history of each, the students will then compare and contrast the religions, and they’ll attend religious sermons for each religion.
