Religious Studies
Credits 3
This course is designed to investigate the Nazi era and the Holocaust as prime examples of racial prejudice. The history is viewed from a variety of perspectives with an emphasis on theological implications. Questions considered will include how religious ideas produced justification for and complicity with Nazi policies, how religion helped some victims cope, and the impact of postHolocaust theology on Jewish and Christian religious understanding and tradition.
