TRS 2270 The God Question
Writing-Intensive Course
The question "Does God exist?" is only one of the many questions currently raised in western societies about the sacred. With many differing beliefs in the world about what is divine – and many reasons to doubt that anything is sacred – there is much at stake in "the God question," whatever form it takes. The course explores some of the reasons that have been offered for and against various conceptions of what is sacred, divine or ultimate. It examines ways in which traditional Christian beliefs have been reinterpreted to be more meaningful in our scientific and pluralistic age. Students are encouraged to engage the debates sparked by some famous thinkers to better understand our shared reality.
