课程概述

At first glance the fields of religion and ecology may seem and unlikely pairing, but a deeper consideration reveals the two have a great deal to contribute to one another and are indeed inextricably linked. Religions recognize the unity and interdependence of humans with nature. Ecological sciences affirm this deep interconnection with the natural world. This partnership can inspire work for the wellbeing of the Earth community There is a need for broader literacy and deeper knowledge of the world’s religions and their ecological contributions. This specialization, "Religions and Ecology: Restoring the Earth Community", contributes such a perspective. Each course celebrates the vitality of religiously-informed action for the Earth and recognizes the longstanding contributions of Indigenous peoples in offering visions and practices for ecological flourishing. This course is part 5 of 5 of the "Religions and Ecology: Restoring the Earth Community" specialization that focuses on the ecological dimensions of religious traditions throughout the world. The course you are about to begin is designed as a gateway to these aspects of the three Western religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. So much has emerged in the last several decades in this area, as you will see. While we have taught this course at Yale, we have adapted it for learners from a wide range of backgrounds. This course is for lifelong learners curious to know more about world religions and ecology, environmental professionals eager to deepen the discourse of environmental protection and conservation, those working with non-profit organizations and NGOs on issues of ecological justice, and religion leaders and laity who wish to know how they can contribute to interreligious dialogue on environmental projects....

I missed a translation into my Portuguese language. The course was complete, with a comprehensive approach to the topic of Western religions. Students who want to delve deeper into this topic will certainly find everything they need to learn about Western religions in this course. This course covers Western religions with a focus on religion and science. It has everything here, debates, videos, articles, scholars and much more, making this course very rich and useful. Thank you to all the collaborators who made this wonderful project a starting point on this journey of knowledge and understanding about religion. Thank you very much to everyone!!!

This course offered an extensive overview of the historical roots of all three Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity & Islam. It also showed how these three traditions - considered to be anthropocentric - are also very ecologically conscious. It was a very interesting course.
