Theopoetics: Embodied God-Talk in Works of Art and Culture

3 credits · Graduate School

Theopoetics is the work of deep theological discourse and beauty in art and culture; however, much of its iteration stays within the halls of academia and Western philosophy. This course takes the legacy of this deep thinking, favor of imagination, and inclusion of the arts to do the work of interpreting the ways Good/the Divine is embodied in art and culture. We turn to the neighborhoods, front porches, and articulations of every theopoetics; from the people not situated in places of power and social elites or society pages. [3]
