This course is an introduction to how humans across the globe and across time have conceived of purpose, death, and afterlife through the notions of “heaven” and “hell.” We will learn to write about religion in an academic context; intellectually curious and empathetic to the traditions, positions, and people we meet along the way. Together, we’ll read scriptural texts, theological reflections, and think about pop culture examples in order to ask why these ideas endure, and what they reveal about the people whose lives they inform and animate.
