Religious Perspectives on Social Issues

Catalog description

This course explores historically and systematically religious perspectives and responses to timely social issues including roles of women and men, war and peace, and the economy. Topics to be explored and discussed include the possibility, necessity and character of religious statements on social issues, previous and contemporary Christian attitudes on selected topics and the apparent dilemma of conflicting perspectives. This course partially satisfies Marian-specific general education curriculum standards for faith, ethics, and foundations of thought.
