Master Christianity and Society

Dealing with today's religious and societal issues

The impact of Christianity on society can be felt around the world - in international politics, economy, arts and cultural ideologies. The opposite is true as well. Christianity and society thus mutually shape and guide each other, with implications for the lives of people everywhere in the world.

In this Master's program you will study this complex interaction from both sides: how Christianity influences society and how society has an effect on the tenets, organization and practices of Christianity.

Alumnus Publishes Christianity and Society Book

Wolf Legal Publishers has published a book by Christianity and Society alumnus Vitaliy Proshak. Vitaliy graduated cum laude (with honor) in September 2011. His Master thesis is now published under the title:
Juridical foundation to religious education in the post-soviet Eastern European state: Three Models Theory of the REDCo Research Project in Application to Ukraine.

Tilburg School of Catholic Theology wishes to congratulate Vitaliy on his publishing success!

In Vitaliy’s book, written within the frameworks of the program Christianity & Society, an attempt has been made to investigate the existing juridical foundation to religious education in an Eastern European state of the post-Soviet Eastern Block. The purpose is to promote the democratic notion of religious tolerance and the development of a culture of living together in the multicultural and polyconfessional society of the Ukraine. The main research focus of this project is on the juridical foundation to religious education in Ukraine, as is presented in the national juristic canons and its interpretation in the broader European spectrum of religious education on the example of the three model theory of the REDCo research project. For this purpose, two juridical constitutional and administrative/public laws of the Ukraine were considered: the Constitution of Ukraine and the Law of Ukraine On Education.

Vitaliy’s book can be ordered online at Wolf Legal Publishers for € 16,95.
