Kandidatuddannelsen i Europas religiøse rødder - Introduktion
How were Judaism, Christianity and Islam formed? How did these three religions and their interaction shape the emerging Europeanculture and society? These are pivotal questions addressed in this international Master Programme.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam
Christianity, Judaism and Islam interacting with each other have had a profound influence on the development of European culture and society. For centuries Christianity has been the dominant majority religion; as minority religions, Judaism and Islam have been seen as the other against which Christian European identity has been shaped.
The three religions have traditionally been studied more or less separately. The aspiration of Religious Roots of Europe (RRE) is to study the three religions together in their formative periods from a comparative perspective and using a variety of approaches including historical, philological, social scientific and literary.
A joint and international programme
The Master Programme is offered in cooperation between the six Nordic universities of Aarhus, Bergen, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Lund and Oslo. Compact seminars are organised at all these institutions as well as in Nordic institutes in the Mediterranean area. RRE offers a truly international education with perspectives for a subsequent career in research and education as well as in governmental and private institutions, organisations and companies were the need for knowledge on religion and culture is increasingly recognised.
