REL 1050 - What is Religion Today?

Introduces students to the fundamental big questions about religion in contemporary life. We begin by trying to define what 'religion' means in the diversity of religious beliefs and practices today. In the following units we address issues such as religion and social justice, political power and religion, religion as ethnic and cultural identity, religion and violence, gender in world religions, mythical figures and spirituality, and globalization and religion. This course satisfies WMU Essential Studies Level 1: Foundations – Inquiry and Engagement: Critical Thinking in the Arts and Humanities Category.
