Other Faiths

This is a web page developed as an adjunct to a class taught at Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, MN. Please be advised: these sites are contextualized in my presentations, and are not meant to be either definitive or endorsed without critical reflection.

Here is a past version of the syllabus for the class. The spring of 2020 will be quite different, as it moves into an RFS modality.

Required books

• James Heft, ed., Passing on the Faith
• Paul Knitter, Introducing Theologies of Religious Pluralism
• Christopher Partridge, Introduction to World Religions, and the Study Companion to Introduction to World Religions (this latter piece can be purchased as a print book, but is also contained in the e-book)

Recommended books

• Sheryl Kujawa, God Beyond Borders
• Lucinda Mosher, Praying
• Lucinda Mosher, Belonging
• Arvind Sharma, The World’s Religions

Please note that this class has pre-meeting assignments available in MyLutherNet, as well as an intensive in-person meeting on Friday, June 6th from 6 pm to 9 pm, and Saturday, June 7th from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Final projects are due June 30th.
