Category: Crash Course Religions

It’s taken me over a year to watch and reflect on this 24-episode series  that explores the meaning of Religion, researched and presented in a way that only Crash Course seems to be able to do. As I’ve noted many times before, my own introduction to Religion as an academic study was courtesy the Jesuit scholars at Loyola Marymount University beginning in 1976 and I found that the world and religious scholarship was so much bigger than I could even imagine, such that, despite my own personal faith undergoing tremendous shifts and dilemmas, I never tired of exploring all of the different ways that humans across the centuries have tried to understand themselves and their relationship to the universe using the language of Religion. The introduction and 24 episodes are listed below in chronological order.
