What is religion? What is literature? And why should we study them together? This course (a gateway seminar for the PRL minor) will provide a rigorous introduction to the study of religion and literature. Readings will be drawn primarily from the Western tradition, and authors will include Augustine, Dante, Dostoevsky, Flannery O'Connor, and Jorge Luis Borges.
