TH 112 Introduction to Spirituality
Human beings' relationship to the sacred is mediated by many factors, such as community, worldview, environment, experience, personality, emotion and the nature of Sacred Mystery itself. Whether one calls that Mystery God, Jesus, Nature, the Great Spirit, the Cosmos, or one of many other holy names, the human quest for a relationship to the transcendent is universal, rich and, ultimately, unexplainable. Through an assortment of readings, hands-on experiences, and media such as art and films, this course will study the spiritual treasures of the Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Buddhist traditions, as well as the spiritual richness of lesser-known belief systems.
