RELI 66 - Satan and HellSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course investigates the origins, development, and significance of personified evil—Satan—in Judaism and Christianity. Through studying some of the most important literary developments of this figure (and his story), we will shed light not only on how ancient authors thought of this figure, but also on the ways that Satan came to play an important role in popular culture in the modern era. Of course, a student of Satan would not be complete without an exploration of his domain—hell. Thus, the course will also examine the genesis of hell, as well as textual descriptions and artistic renderings of the place of eternal punishment.
