PS 8365 - Mary, Mystics, and Martyrs: Models and Mentors of the Faith

Credits: 3

“Faith of our fathers (and mothers) living still” is the focus of this seminar exploring Christian models, spiritual mentors, and religious leaders. Supplements the usual emphases in the Reformed tradition by highlighting the role of Mary, mother of Jesus, and her living legacy as well as the classical and continuing contributions of mystics and martyrs. Students view - and correlate with primary sources - documentaries and films on Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Thomas Merton, St. Therese of Lisieux, and Howard Thurman. Includes discussions on the contemporary controversy surrounding the private papers of Mother Teresa. The seminar allows time for work on religious role models and forerunners in the faith. Prerequisites: HX 6305  or HX 6306 , and NT 6301  /OT 6301  or OT 6302 . Prerequisite or corequisite: XS 6310 .
