4th Summer School of the CrossCulture Religious Studies Project

_{Personal Religion: Agency, Autonomy, and Individual Responsibility in the History and Practice of Religions}

at the Paris-Lodron University of Salzburg

Lead­ing schol­ars spe­cial­iz­ing in diverse reli­gious tra­di­tions – includ­ing Judaism, Islam, Chris­tian­i­ty, Bud­dhism, and Jain­ism – explore per­son­al reli­gion through a series of lec­tures. The pro­gram exam­ines his­tor­i­cal and con­tem­po­rary expres­sions of indi­vid­ual faith and spir­i­tu­al­i­ty, includ­ing prac­tices and spaces. Stu­dents will present their research and engage in in-depth dis­cus­sions. A cul­tur­al pro­gram com­ple­ments the aca­d­e­m­ic ses­sions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
