Inquiry Into Philosophical and Religious Issues: A Practical Resource for Students and Teachers - Paperback

by Rosemary Laoulach (Author)

Inquiry into Religious and Philosophical Issues provides an educational experience of both wonder and discovery. The text's focus on epistemology applies this inquisitive discipline to an array of topics, including religious faith, ethics, personal meaning and happiness. Sources from philosophy, theology, and psychology interact with debates, role-playing, essays, and other student-centered activities to encourage meaningful thinking and engagement. Students are taught skills to develop personal awareness and resilience in order to help them flourish. Complex subjects such as religion and philosophy often lead to difficult questions and ideas that, for many students, go unheard. With Inquiry into Religious and Philosophical Issues, these questions and ideas will now have a voice.
