REL 125 - UE: Searching for Light in the Darkness: Faith, Reason, and the Quest for God

3 credits
What is the relationship between faith and reason? Does human life have meaning? Does God exist? What is love? Is hope possible? This course provides a glimpse into the science of the study of God through the exploration of philosophical questions in the light of influential texts in the Catholic intellectual tradition. While the course assumes the model of faith  seeking understanding, the course does not presume the individual faith of any student. By engaging these texts through discussion, analysis, and writing, students will gain an introductory grasp of the academic discipline of theology.
