REL4011 Religion and the Political

The secularization thesis holds that as societies modernize, religion will play an increasingly insignificant public, social, and political role. This thesis has been called into question in recent decades as a result of the rise of globally significant political movements articulated in explicitly religious terms. This course explains the historical development of the secularization thesis, the way in which contemporary political movements have called it into question, and contemporary debates concerning how to understand the relationship of religion and the political. The course will follow a seminar format, structured primarily around active discussion of primary sources. Significant student involvement in class discussions will be mandatory. Credits: 3.000
