Central to a wide range of civilisations and cultures throughout history, religion is powerful and persistent. As daily media reports show, religion is all around us: it is at once both a force for global co-operation and conflict, and a force at the heart of local communities.

Studying religion helps you to be better informed about the contemporary world and to understand a range of world views and lifestyles. You can choose from specialist and broad-based materials that explore:

  • a range of religious traditions and cultures
  • religion in society today
  • religious conflict from a historical perspective.

Course Materials: Learning resources from Open University undergraduate and business courses, including print, video, DVD and software. Please note that if you enrol as an Open University student, these resources are included in your student mailings.

Other Resources: Study guides, teaching guides, videos and DVDs not specifically related to Open University courses and Open University Gift Vouchers
