Christianity and Western Literature

1 credits · Divinity School

This course offers a broad survey of pivotal texts which have characterized Christianity's often symbiotic engagement with imaginative literature in the West from Augustine to the present. This course seeks to equip students and future teachers/ministers not only to understand and narrate the complex relationship between Christian theology and classic works of Western Literature, but draw on the resources of a rich interpretive tradition as they engage both sacred and secular texts.
