The module challenges various widely held assumptions about religions and the study of religion, and engages students with three core questions: What is religion? How do we study religion? Why shou...ld we study religion? John will talk about how this module offers an accessible and cutting-edge introduction to the study of religions, exploring places, practices, texts and experiences.
