Semester Hours: 3

This course will introduce students to the cognitive study of religion. The methods of evolutionary studies, cognitive psychology, and neuroscience are now being used to investigate religious belief, behavior and traditions. This approach offers fresh perspective into a number of issues within the study of religion, opens up new ways of understanding the power of religion to shape our lives, and raises important questions about the nature of religious beliefs.
