I don't think it should, and I don't think it does. That's why we were looking for another inexpensive option a while ago, and came up with BYU-IS's Chinese Lit course for $534. It was the cheapest option anyone on here could find (although there might certainly be an in-state option at a community college somewhere).
I'd also heard that World Literature might work, and U of Idaho IS has World Lit I & II for $510 each.

Anyone who needs to know just has to ask to have it planned into their eval. I don't think anyone has reported here definitely in each either case.

I don't think it's considered an "eastern" religion though. It has impacted western civilization more than eastern. The term Judeo-Christian is western rather than eastern.

You could say the same about Christianity, but the fact is that's not how the "Western world" is defined. The judeo-christian tradition is a pillar of what is considered western.
Granted, there are a ton of different ways that "western" is defined, but I have never seen one that considered the judeo-christian tradition as not part of western culture. If TESU wants to count this as non-western, I'm happy for anyone who needs the credits! I would just be surprised, and I don't recall anyone ever reporting it this way.

We posted similar stuff at the same time. I think we do that a lot! Great minds...

I actually did get the BYU Chinese Poetry course planned in to fulfill my non-western literature requirement if that helps anyone.
