Embodiment, Life, and Death in Context

Catalog description

This course is designed for health professions students. It meets the theology ultimate questions requirement and the Identities in Context attribution. Health professionals continually engage ultimate questions. Religious traditions provide context for meaning and purpose in life. What is the meaning of health, disease, disability, and death? What is the origin of life and meaning? How do we live in the face of death and life? This course equips students to engage these questions in a contextualized and compassionate way, drawing on the resources of the Catholic theological tradition, and bringing them into conversation with other religious traditions.
