VIA 410 - Contemporary Christian Spirituality:Integration in Speaking

Institution:

Salve Regina University

Subject:

Description:

Core Complement Course in Religious Studies Contemporary spirituality concerns itself with the question of how to lead a deeply committed Christian life in the world of high technology and almost constant change. We examine theories of spirituality in the past to see their influence on our present situation; the spiritualities of other traditions to see their possible contributions to our own; the question of whether a person can develop a spirituality on his own or whether he needs a community or a church is helpful. Lastly we raise the question of what moral choices we must make to seriously adopt a particular kind of spirituality. In this open forum and debate course students must draw upon the great ideas of history and the insights gained from their university education and from their participation in the VIA Program. Students will be asked to "think on their feet" beforean audience, organize ideas with clarity, defend ideas with confidence, to listen carefully and change their minds when confronted with better ideas. This course is a VIA section of RST410 and fulfills the core complement religious studies requirement. Prerequisite: RST210. 3 credits.
