THEO1726

Exploring the Mystery of God: A Theological Perspective

This is an Enduring Question course and is open to FRESHMEN only. You must take both PHIL1726 and THEO1726. What is the relationship between human beings and God? These paired courses explore conceptions of the divine that have been a fundamental part of Western civilization as well as the relationships that human beings have with the divine. The Philosophy course will examine how the Greeks viewed their gods in their literature and philosophy. The Theology course will explore various perspectives on God in ancient, medieval, and contemporary theological writings. There will be many intersections and divergences on the divine between the two courses.
