Most religions and cultures around the world have stories of ascending to heaven, descending to hell or traveling to another reality. They usually take the form of dreams, visions, near-death experiences or even claims of physical ascent. This course will examine accounts from both the ancient past and the modern world. It will explore how scholars study such narratives and what they can teach us about religious experience and religion itself. |
