THL 415 - Stories that Shape Lives

Institution:

Creighton University

Subject:

Theology

Description:

This course examines both classic stories and the implicit stories embedded in contemporary cultures. By ¿classic stories¿ is meant fables, biblical parables, and stories of holy people. By ¿implicit stories embedded in contemporary culture¿ is meant the ¿lived stories¿ embodied in the cultures from which our students come and in which they live. We address story (as human activity) and stories (as concrete cultural artifacts) from a variety of perspectives especially those of literary criticism, biblical exegesis, and the cross-cultural and historical study of spirituality. P: Sr. stdg. and PHL 250 or THL 250.
