TH 336 The Search for God

Why do human beings seek the divine, the transcendent? How is the search for and experience of God articulated? This course explores the personal and religious journeys of well-known spiritual and religious writers. We will read the spiritual autobiographies of diverse figures such as Simone Weil, Dorothy Day, and Thomas Merton to understand their search for God. Students will be encouraged to reflect and compose their own spiritual autobiography in conversation with these writers.
