Course Offerings for Summer 2008

PD-70 The Origin of Satan and the Problem of Evil  "I saw Satan fall like lightning."
This course explores the origin of Satan in the biblical tradition, as well as the role of violence in cultural life. Does it make sense to believe in Satan today? How can we restore hope and rekindle faith in a world of victims and the victimized? Biblical text and contemporary ideas of the origins of evil will be discussed and explored.

PM-60 The Just War Tradition: Christian Faith and Citizenship  This class will focus on the history of Just War, particularly from a Christian perspective. Participants will be invited to reflect theologically and apply various criteria to determine when and if Christians will accept--even advocate for--war as a means to peace.

PG-54 Religion and Politics in American History  This course will explore how the various religious traditions have influenced and been influenced by American politics from colonial times to today.
