History of religions

11/10/2019

Religious pluralism in Italy is a fact; however, it is not only a recent phenomenon. The presence of Jewish and Islamic communities on Italian territory has a long history. Starting from these two centuries-old presences, the course deals with two other religious areas in constant growth: the religions of the Indian subcontinent and those of the Far East (China and Japan). The starting point is the religions in their present state; it is therefore a synchronic approach combined with the diachronic approach as regards the history of each individual community of faith.
