Heythrop College

University of London - MA Psychology of Religion The programme approaches religion from the standpoint of psychology, without assuming the truth of religious claims and values. By asking what psychology can offer to our understanding of people's religious beliefs, values, and behaviour, you will explore relationships between religious belief and behaviour, as well as those between religion, mental health and well-being, and the importance of social and contextual factors in religious development. Note, Heythrop College recently announced that by 2018 the College will cease functioning in its current form. See the College's report on The Future of Heythrop College. For information, see the course summary page.

University of Wisconsin-Madison

Science, Medicine and Religion - History of Science/History of Medicine 331 This course explores the complex and often perplexing historical issues raised by three overlapping arenas of human expression: science, medicine, and religion. We begin with asking some broad questions about the place of scientific and medical inquiry within a variety of religious contexts, including ancient Greece, the Islamic world, and Christianity in western Europe. We then focus on debates specific to particular domains of scientific and medical inquiry, ranging from the medicalization of monstrous births and the religious implications of Copernicanism to natural theology, evolutionary theory, and the efficacy of intercessory prayer.
