Description:

Human Rights, Theology The proximity of religious traditions in an increasingly global society tends to undermine absolutist and exclusivist truth claims by rendering them both socially and psychologically untenable. What are the alternatives? This seminar explores the question by tracing its biblical and historical roots and antecedents and examining its modern emergence among diverse religious thinkers, including C. S. Lewis, Paul Tillich, Karl Rahner, Thomas Merton, Bede Griffiths, Rosemary Radford Ruether, and John Hick. Prerequisite: Moderation in social studies or permission of the instructor.
