Welcome to Religion 100.  This is a course called the Introduction to Religion.  You’re gonna have a little bit different experience in this course than you have in a regular classroom course.  As a matter of fact, potentially you might never go into a classroom to take this course.  I’ll talk more about the format and the logistics of the course here in a little bit, the details of it, but I want to do a few things on an introductory level or introduction level first.

My name is Lora Hobbs.  I’ve taught in the Religious Studies Department since the late 1980s.  I’ve worked with this course since day one when I began teaching in the department.  This is still probably one of my favorite courses to teach because of the range of topics that it covers, and they tend to be topics that about anybody is interested in.  Certainly you won’t find interest in every topic we discuss, but I think there’ll be some lectures that will click in with you.  Most students feel like this is a pretty good, broad way to look at religion and talk about some different aspects of religion.  So it’s a course that again I’ll tell you a little bit more about here in a little bit.
