Love and Desire

Catalog description

This course has two Biblical starting points: the dominical command to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your mind, and all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. (Mark 12.20-31), and the Song of Songs. From looking at the way theologians in the past have pondered these texts, we will explore God's love for us, for creation, our love for God, for our neighbor and for ourselves.
