Elective course
Christian Century, July 1, 2008
ELECTIVE COURSE: Miroslav Volf, Yale Divinity School theologian and frequent CENTURY contributor (see p. 37), is scheduled to teach a course this fall at Yale with Tony Blair, former prime minister of Great Britain. Blair chose Volf to co-teach a course on faith and globalization after meeting with him and other Yale faculty in London.
Blair, who recently converted to Catholicism, believes that faith must be rescued from those who treat it as irrelevant and from extremists who use religion for political purposes. Blair is also setting up a London-based Blair Faith Foundation to promote understanding between Judaism, Christianity and Islam (YDS news release and Time, June 9).
