Course Description

Human beings have always tried to understand our place in the universe. Ancient Babylonian astronomers compiled hundreds of years of observations about the cycles of heavenly bodies. These observations gave rise to the Greco-Roman cosmologies of Plato and Aristotle. These in turn became foundational for all Western religions – rabbinic Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The revolutionary theories of Copernicus and Galileo overturned these theories and created challenges for all Western religion traditions. This course looks at how our changing understandings of the universe has impacted our religious traditions.
