Can world religions possibly share more similarities than we may have thought? The similarities may surprise us if we look back at ancient religions and trace them through history. Listen up to learn: Why comparing religions can be dangerous What inspired the formation of religious texts How religious study can impact students Yair Lior, Ph.D. of religious studies in the department of religion at Boston University, shares his research and study in comparative religion and its science. While many of the major world religions today may appear vastly different at first glance, they may share ancient similarities branching from distant commonalities. Especially when considering beliefs in the distant past before modern religious ideas, we can begin to uncover the similarities which branch from unexpected practices. If we begin to separate ourselves from where we base our religious beliefs, we can adopt an analytical mindset when studying the world of religion. Moreover, by introducing exploration and education into current beliefs, it may even strengthen the beliefs we currently hold, allowing us to explore deeper than we previously believed.

Why has history been filled with religious conflict? Even though some beliefs may appear similar, this can actually lead to more hostility than completely opposing views. Listen in to learn: Why similar religions often conflict The role religious conflict has played in global development What to consider when viewing religion from the outside Robert Eisen, a Professor of Religion and Judaic Studies, shares his views on global relationships and the relationships and conflicts caused over a complex history. Though many religions hold parables of peace and tranquility, they have been the root causes of fighting and conflict throughout history. Despite this, there is still much to be learned and gained when attempting to gain the knowledge they offer. Since many practitioners and followers of religions have been persecuted throughout the centuries, many religions have become accustomed to strife. While this has made some cultures incredibly hearty, it has also caused lasting issues. Visit https://religion.columbian.gwu.edu/robert-eisen to learn more.

The debate of time immemorial surrounding science and Christianity continues to rage, but could they both be correct? When examining issues of life, taking diverse and sometimes contradictory stances can lead to new solutions. Listen up to learn: What Christian apologetics relates to What is offered through Christianity How math plays into religion and Christianity John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University (emeritus), shares his view of the Christian faith and how it can intertwine with science and math to uncover some of the enduring mysteries of our species. Different from what it sounds, Christian apologetics offers an opportunity to add the science of spirituality to many debates. Specifically, approaching obstacles in life, especially catastrophic divides, can give new additional context to previously contentious issues surrounding faith. Despite the various opinions of theologians and philosophies worldwide, Christianity offers an opportunity for hope and collaboration. For example, mathematics and Christianity often find themselves at odds with proponents for both sides staunchly disagreeing, but in reality, both can offer answers to benefit the other.
