Teaching World Religions? Or are you interested in religion? Consider this new massive online course or MOOC from Harvard University’s Literacy Project.

It starts next winter in January and runs through June 2016. The course is called “Sacred Texts: Origins and Interpretations.”

The MOOC will be offered through HarvardX (Harvard’s initiative to build and create open online courses) and will include month-long modules on each of the five world religions. Scholars for each of the modules will come from Harvard Divinity School, Wellesley, and faculty from Harvard’s Art and Sciences.

According to the The Relgious Literacy Project, “the unifying theme of all six modules will be a cultural studies approach to teaching and learning about religion through the lens of sacred texts.”
