This series explores key beliefs, values and practices of world religions. We pose big philosophical questions to religious leaders and believers to better understand how religion guides their understandings and actions.
A thorough text study also requires a thorough context study, as there are often historical events, political attitudes, societal norms and trends that influenced the author’s literary choices. This series dives into the poetry of three historical periods: the Romantics, Victorian and World War 1. Uncover the beliefs, behaviours and trends that affected life and literature at the time.
