YouTube description
Professor Tom Greggs tells us a bit more about the course "Global Issues, Global Religions". What is the place of religion in the 21st century? How does religion contribute to major, global political issues? Will secularisation eventually make religions obsolete? Can you be a scientist and be religious? Is religion bad for the environment? How does religion relate to human rights? How can the religions engage in dialogue? These pressing questions for our world are explored in this course from a variety of academic disciplines and methods, with tutorials focused on debate and interrogation of the place of religion in the contemporary world.
