Inter-religious Understanding - Claremont School of Theology

Inter-religious Understanding from Claremont School of Theology is a Campus Master Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. "The Century of Religion" ... that's how our religious , scholarly, and political leaders are already describing the twenty-first century. With an increasingly globalized and migratory world, our local communities are becoming more religiously diverse every day. Regardless of where you live -- San Diego, South Dakota or Seoul -- the realities of religious diversity affect us all. With an emphasis in Inter-religious Understanding, you will be prepared to negotiate the complex issues of religious diversity and inter-religious dialogue in your own academic, religious and/or professional context. You will work closely with a faculty advisor to select classes that broaden your understanding of specific religious traditions and deepen your grasp of the most current theories of religious pluralism. Because you can also cross-enroll at Claremont Graduate University, your program can be inter-disciplinary in nature, offering you the opportunity to explore the implications of religious dialogue in relation to other fields (such as psychology, education, business, etc.) Recent courses include: World Religions in Dialogue Religious Pluralism Trans-religious Discourse: Christianity and Buddhism Religious Diversity: Ethical, Political and Philosophical Perspectives Ghandi's Ethics and Challenges of the 21st Century Religion and Liberal Democracy Secularism Theology of Globalization View more details on Claremont School of Theology .
