Faces of God, Faces of Satan

Catalog description

From religious and literary perspectives, this course examines themes of good and evil in human experience. Included are perennial conflicts manifesting spiritual and physical struggles between love and compassion, sacrifice and truth, and creation and renewal, on the one hand, and hatred and dissension, discrimination and deception, and indifference and destruction, on the other. These conflicts, which at once mirror and evoke the human experience, raise unsettling questions as to whether they can be resolved and for which we have responsibility. Core courses are not open to Freshmen or Sophomores, except for associate degree candidates.
