RELG 343 - Religion in Public Life


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU, WINT

In recent decades, the dramatic public presence of religion around the globe has challenged the assumption that modernization requires the retreat of religion into the private sphere. Drawing on historical and contemporary perspectives, this course examines the renewed attention to religion’s political relevance within the modern West. Attention will also be given to how recent theologians and philosophers of religion have brought religious themes to bear on current social and political challenges.
