Other Information about the Course |
This is an intellectually rigorous but very fun and mind-expanding course with frequent, short primary source readings and excerpts of longer works in fiction, poetry, drama, song and non-fiction as models for discussion, journal-ing, for student-led panel discussion, and for paper topic drafting. The course is not an indoctrination in Religion by any means but rather an introduction to Spiritual literature's ancient to contemporary themes, such as the meaning of life, creation, enjoying life, ethics, afterlife, parables and fables, related fiction, poetry, drama and non-fiction excerpts concerning these themes and ones of the class' choosing. |
