How does religion shape our world today? To help shape our world for the better, we first need to understand it. Religion and Society allows you to explore and investigate the world's religious traditions and examine their impact on modern society.
You will learn how religious identities influence global communities and current events; how historical contexts have shaped our perspectives on reality and their ongoing impacts on contemporary issues. Discover the powerful role of religion in shaping cultures and societies, and gain the skills to make enlightened change.
Religion and Society will help you become a critical thinker, an empathetic problem-solver and an engaged citizen who is prepared and ready to excel in a range of professional fields.
