reflections on the course (Hannah Grimes post 13)

Reflections on the Course

I took this class as an elective; partly just because I was looking for credits, and partly because my academic advisor couldn’t stop talking about how great Dr. Redick is. The course has definitely challenged me to think of things in different ways and has exposed me to new perspectives and ideas. I sometime struggle to grasp the complexities of philosophy and abstract ideas, but the course allowed me work on establishing a better understanding of different concepts that I am not normally exposed to since I am not a religious studies or philosophy student. It has been a great experience of learning from others and discussing different elements of art and religious experience and the meanings contained within and represented by them. I learned to look at things in new ways and relate them to concepts we covered in the class, particulary van der Leeuw's text.
