TH 275 The Christian Imagination
Christianity has provided rich ground for the imagination. This course explores ways in which, for 2000 years, the arts have enabled believers to respond creatively to the Christian message. It raises questions about why Christian spirituality flourishes through the use of media such as images, music, literature, and film. It also gives students the tools necessary to "read" works of art from a variety of periods, including our own, and to understand the role that the arts play in the devotional sphere, as well as the theological views that underpin the works we will study. The course will sensitize student to the essential role of the imagination in human life.
