Winter 2026 - Do not take this class if you have no history with religion. This is a class for Christians, or religious people in general. I found it incredibly hard to follow lecture because of the foreign verbiage and terminology that the professor would use without definition. The tests are quite difficult but manageable if you study. Do the field report early because the final essay prompts won't be released till late in the quarter. It was very frustrating to not be able to participate in discussion because I can't quote the bible. I would not take this class again and I don't recommend it unless you have a passion AND a background in this subject.
