Writing Creatively About Religion

3 credits · Divinity School

In her essay titled "Scriptio Divina: Women, Writing and God," Harvard University Divinity School theologian Stephanie Paulsell argues that the "often unbearable" experience of writing serves our intellectual and spiritual formation in the ways the discipline of lectio divina "wakes us and opens us to the presence of God." Students who enroll in this course will engage in a series of creative and autobiographical writing exercises in prose, poetry, and drama that explore various religious questions and themes.
