What is the name of the theology courses, or whatever religious course, presented at school? Once, around 6 or 7 years ago, I ran across the word in the dictionary, but have never since and now I miss it.
At the private religious school where I taught, the course was called Comparative Theology. It was a survey of the differences between major western and eastern religions, and also looked at the philosophical underpinnings of agnosticism and atheism.
Catechism? That was the word used for religious classes in the Roman Catholic church.
Jackie" As I understand it, catechism is specific to Christian religions. Rafee was looking, I think, for a more generic term. Not sure there is a truly generic single term. I don't recall ever seeing "Dogma 101" in any course catalog. 🙂
Heimhenge, that was just the first word that popped into my head. Where I grew up, the local Catholic church had catechism classes for those students who attended public school and so didn't have religious instruction. It's not really a common, every day word, so I thought I'd give it a go.
Dogma 101--could be interesting! Don't know though. I'm a bit of a skeptic. *grin*
