TRS 2900H World Religions, Global Citizens: Contemporary Perspectives
A study of central themes in several of the world’s major religions, focusing on perceptions of the sacred, the nature of reality, and understandings of the human person, society and the natural environment. The course approaches perennial questions of human religious experience in light of the contemporary context of cultural globalization. Encountering the life stories and thought of contemporary religious figures who express not only the human search for meaning, but also compelling perspectives on cultural diversity, our shared humanity, reverence for life and the search for the common good, the course considers the contribution of world religions to the evolving meaning of the term, ‘global citizens’. Honors students only.
