Excerpt from the lecture on 'Hagar and Ishmael' by Professor Marcel Poorthuis. This lecture forms part of the one-year Master's Program in Christianity and Society - Theology and Religious Studies at Tilburg School of Catholic Theology.

This Master's Program aims at offering students from all over the world deeper insights in the connection between Christianity and society. The study environment is informal and personal. In the courses offered, students learn to reflect critically upon the place of Christianity in the public space and the concomitant conflicts and tensions that arise in the dialogue and confrontation with both (post)modern society and (world) religions. This focus on connecting theology and religion’s sources from the past with current socio-economic and political issues provides students a unique opportunity to prepare for a professional (NGOs, government policy) or academic career, or to deepen their current knowledge of the connection between theology and society.
