Religion, Society and Culture

About this course

Religion, society and culture examines one of the most pervasive and consequential forces in human life, asking how religious belief, practice and institution shape the way societies are organised, how they respond to crisis, and how individuals understand their place in the world. The discipline draws on theology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy and ethics to engage with religion not as a fixed category but as a dynamic presence in politics, literature, bioethics, warfare, environmentalism and everyday life. Far from being a declining force in secular modernity, religion continues to shape conflict, culture, law and moral debate in ways that make its serious study urgently relevant. At the University of Durham you will study for three years full-time, engaging with the role of religion in a wide range of human contexts. You will develop analytical tools for understanding religious
