Looking at this world religion by means of 8 'dimensions' common to all the great religious traditions (see Prof. Ninian Smart), this course will look at Christianity's rituals, sacred places and artefacts, key texts, institutions and history, some of its distinctive beliefs, ethical values and its forms of spirituality and ideal lifestyle. The course is designed for anyone who enjoys studying religion in all its rich diversity and is suitable for those with or without any knowledge or experience of this Faith. It will be taught with a mixture of lecture-style input and group discussion and will also make use of visual images, music, poetry, artefacts and, if possible, a guided visit to some central Cambridge churches. Students will be encouraged throughout the course to share their own insights and experiences.
