Catalog description

This course addresses questions about whether religion can foster social justice. It asks some of these questions: Is religion and social justice interrelated? Does religion deal with issues of social justice? Does religion create opportunities for social justice? If so, how do communities come together to bring about changes? Does religion create division within a community and among communities? If so, what are the consequences of such division? Has religion contributed or not to a more just, peaceful and environmentally safe world? Students will be actively engaged in class discussion and oral presentation.
