REL 210 - Satan, Demons, and Hell: The Demonic in Ancient and Contemporary Contexts

Semester Hours: 3
Satan, demons, and hell—these dark dimensions of the Christian theological tradition have been given much attention in Western thought, from ancient times to the present. This course will first investigate the appearance and development of these concepts in late Israelite tradition and early Christianity. It will then explore the abiding significance and role of these concepts in Western thought, with an emphasis on their manifestation in contemporary religion, literature, and media.

Pre-requisites: none.
