  • M S 121: Living Religions:U.S.& Global Perspectives and Practices

    3.00 Credits
    Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School

    C. Denise Yarbrough In a pluralistic and multicultural society, Christians no longer have the luxury of pretending that they are the "majority" religion. Doingministry in today's world requires knowledge and sensitivity to the other major world religions that are an integral part of American culture and of our interconnected global world. This course will introduce students to the fundamental precepts and practices of a variety of major religions that are important players in the world today, both in this country and abroad, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Islam, Judaism, Bahai, Native American traditions, Neo-Pagan traditions, and Mormonism. Visits to places of worship in other world religions and/or guest speakers from these traditions are an integral part of this course. We will consider the challenges that pluralism poses for people of all faith traditions in a diverse society. We will examine how the various world religions are being lived out in this country and throughout the world. The intent of this course is: (1) to stimulate theological reflection about our own Christian tradition in light of the wisdom and insights of other world religions, and ; (2) to provide a brief introduction to the beliefs and practices of the world religions as they are lived out in our modern American context, and (3) to consider issues of globalism and pluralism in the context of Christian ministry and the relationship of religion to political and economic issues at home and abroad, considering issues of tolerance of other religions as each religion expresses or understands it.

  • MSCF15 9: Christian Theological Responses to Religious Pluralism

    3.00 Credits
    Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School

    Melanie A. May Christians live amid growing religious pluralism, here in the United States and around the world. This course explores ways in which Christians have responded to religious pluralism, primarily in contemporary contexts, but also with attention to biblical and historical perspectives. We ask questions such as: How do we understand religious pluralism? What challenges does religious pluralism pose for Christian theology (e.g., if God created all persons in God's image, how do we as Christians understand God's presence in the lives of all human beings, including those of other religious traditions)? What is the relation of God's revelation in Jesus Christ to God'sactivity as creator of the universe and to the ongoing work of God's spirit in creation? What is faithful dialogue with people of other religious traditions? How are dialogue and mission related? The course also addresses issues of religion and global responsibility. These issues include religious nationalism, religious violence, ethnic cleansing, economic injustice, fundamentalism, religious movements for liberation, and models for being good neighbors with people of other living faith communities. Throughout the course, participants will consider the implications, pastorally and practically, of interreligious dialogue to the practice of ministry.
