Abstract
The goal of courses in religious studies is to help students investigate and analyze, critically, historical ideas, events, persons, material culture, and artifacts to understand how they shape society and people. The goal of courses in Cultural Studies is to help students evaluate significant cultural phenomena and ideas to develop capacities for aesthetic and cultural response, judgment, interpretation and evaluation. Further, the goal of courses in this category is to help students analyze, interpret, and evaluate major forms of human thought, cultures and expression; to demonstrate capacities for aesthetic and culturally informed understanding; and to experience the arts and reflect on that experience critically and creatively. This course fulfills these requirements by critically analyzing the role of religious thought as a conduit for cross-cultural interchange via the Silk Road in ancient historical and cultural studies.
