Chinese Religions and Christianity in Dialogue

Name: Chinese Religions and Christianity in Dialogue
Rating: 4.34 (202 reviews)

This course asks foundational questions about the nature of the divine, the human, and the relationship between the two. What is the nature of ultimate reality? How did the world and all in it come to be? Are human beings naturally moral or must we learn how to be good? What is the full capacity of human being? We shall ponder answers to these questions and more by putting selected Biblical and Christian texts in conversation with selected Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist texts from the Chinese literary canon. Satisfies Core requirement for: Theology (Sacred Texts and Traditions)
