The Tasks of Religion; Theology in the Anthropocene

1 credits · Divinity School

The Anthropocene marks the unprecedented moment in planetary history when (some) forms of human existence are responsible for the alteration of earth and life forms from the cellular to the atmospheric levels (and everything in between). This course examines how Anthropocene realities challenge religious teachings and practices that were formed in the Holocene, and it considers how various forms of religious expression can respond to this new time.
