RELG 209 - The Bible in American Politics

FC ARHU
4 credits
Religion and politics are the two topics we’re taught to avoid at dinner parties, but religion, and specifically the Bible, has always been part of the political conversation. This course will examine the Bible’s role in politcal debates over freedom of religion, slavery and abolition, women’s rights, Civil Rights, and laws targeting the LGBT community.  We will also follow and critically relfect upon the appearance of the Bible in the 2018 midterm election cycle.
