Theology in Literature
During fall 2011, we had a coterie of Cedar Ridge residents and community members who dug into concepts
from Christian theology, and explored how those concepts illuminated literary works by various authors. As we
continue this series this semester, our exploration will lead us into the heady areas of Christology (the
theological interpretation of the person and work of Jesus Christ), the nature of humanity, the influence of sin,
and the provision for spiritual redemption. In order to enrich and enhance our exploration and discussion of
these topics, we will pair them with literary selections culled from the Middle Ages to today.
Depending on the size of the class, the format will likely be a roundtable discussion of the
readings and concepts, with Mike acting as facilitator and teacher.
Date: Mondays, April 2-23 |
