Can religion be reinvented to solve modern crises of meaning?

It's time to reclaim religion | Sharon Brous · 16:28 · Video: TED · Watch at the source

In short: In an era of global instability and pessimism, Rabbi Sharon Brous argues that religion is not obsolete. Instead, she proposes a radical reimagining of faith as a tool to counter modern extremism and despair.

Brous addresses the perception that religion is either irrelevant or a source of conflict in the contemporary world. She suggests that by applying four specific principles, religious practice can be revitalized to meet the unique demands of modern life.

Brous presents belief as an optimistic alternative to the desensitising truths of brutality and gloom. It explores how a reconstructed spiritual framework can provide a sense of purpose and stability in a world that feels increasingly out of control.
