Studietorget - FS-import-v05

Work Load 10 credits (ECTS)
Objectives Compulsory subject for students on the bachelor programme in Religious Studies.
Contents This theme offers an introduction to Christianity''s beliefs and ethics, with emphasis on contemporary areas of conflict and positions. In this day and age, the Christian tradition has broken with both modern ways of thinking and modern ways of life, and these rifts are central to this study of the question: what is Christianity? History shows that this question cannot be answered independently of time and place. A collective perspective of central conceptions in Christianity may take its starting point in Christianity as an interpretation of what it is to be human.
