REL 278 - Environmental Theology

Institution:

Brevard College

Subject:

RELIGIOUS STUDIES

Description:

Although the peoples of the world are divided into multiple cultural and religious groupings, we share one fragile earth. In the 21st century, theology is becoming increasingly aware of this commonality, as the members of various religious groups seek within their own traditions to find both roots of our current ecological crisis and contributions to its potential resolution. This course explores what a variety of religions, both ancient and contemporary, have to say about the sacred ground of our being, as well as about our mutual responsibilities for tending this ground with care. When linked with ENG 217, Environmental Literature, REL 278 provides tools for reflecting on the spiritual and theological dimension of texts written about the natural world.
