Certificate Course in Peace, Nonkilling in the World Religions

Jagran Lakecity University Bhopal in collaboration with the Global Green University international network of educators is offering a Certificate Course in Peace, Nonkilling in the World Religions that will start on January 14, 2022, with a 5 week duration.

The course will cover teachings and practices of the world’s main religions in relation to theories of peace, war, and nonkilling. Which of them advocate nonviolence? Which of them have specific teachings on conflict resolution and war prevention in their holy scriptures? How does history judge their behaviour over the centuries? How many deaths have their followers been responsible for in mathematical estimates and how can the paradigm of nonkilling replace the idea that “God wants killing”. The course approach will combine cutting edge religious studies as well as political science, and the course should be of direct general interest to all students of current affairs, law, political science, philosophy, community relations at the university as well as more widely afield.

The course will be tutored by Dr. Katyayani Singh (Assistant Professor and Centre Coordinator, Centre for Nonkilling and Peace, Jagran Lakecity University, Bhopal) and Dr. Thomas C Daffern (Director, International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy & the World Intellectual Forum).
