Such a great course, one of the best I've taken. I took this to fulfill a distribution requirement, but enjoyed it so much I want to take more religion classes. The material is very interesting, there are a lot of readings, but it is worth your time. Prof. Ortegren is a great teacher; she really makes you think about the material and is good at explaining things. I learned so much, definitely recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was very fast paced (reading a sometimes dense book a week) but that lended its self to interesting conversations and hard questions. I thought the required reading was pertinent to my studies and I appreciated the challenge and depth this course gave to my ability to think and discuss. It was only a discussion based class, there was no lecture and I thought that was a huge aspect of why I enjoyed the class.

Professor Ortegren was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the content which made lectures interesting and engaging! She did speak very very quickly which made it hard to get back on track with notes if I zoned out for a second. I thought the papers were graded fairly and I she covered a huge amount of information in a digestible way. highly recommend this course
