Description:

Core Complement Course in Religious Studies Mercy, some propose, is the distinctive virtue of the Christian community and the thing most absent in the world today. What is mercy? Why is it a virtue? Can you choose to become merciful? Does mercy make a difference? This course takes on these questions and more in its exploration of mercy in the Christian tradition. We will engage the 'art' or practice of mercy as revealed in scripture and theology. Wewill explore the 'art of mercy' developed in film, literature, music, and image. All ofthese resources point to that activity of mercy in remembering persons and relations into the wholeness and life of the Creation narrative. Prerequisite: RST210. 3 credits.
