Great Texts in Theology

Catalog description

This course introduces students to major questions of human existence pertaining to God and religion and to Christianity’s answers to these questions. Organized into six units/questions, it emphasizes a particularly Catholic, Jesuit perspective on these questions. It encourages students to think through difficult questions with careful reflection on texts, based on the premise that reading great texts can change how we think about ourselves and our world in impactful ways. Each student will thus enhance his or her critical thinking and skills through reading assignments, discussion, and reflection on these discussions through long-form writing assignments.
