Religion 203 - COLQ: RELIGION IN LITERATURE

Literature, like religion, is a systematic effort to make sense of the human experience. Through the creation of narrative and character, writers discover various ways of defining the truth that underlies our relationship with the world and each other. We surrender to the fictive drama of literature because it resonates with our personal narratives -- the stories we weave to redeem our experience. This course explores a series of literary works that confront the problem of meaning in our lives. There are reading and discussion. Enrollment limit of 20. Meets first half of the semester only. (E)
