Religion 213 - Sexuality and Spirituality

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

GSS, Theology Contemporary reappraisals of the domains of sexuality and spirituality have shed new light on the boundaries placed between themin Christian traditions. This course examines the historical, social, cultural, and theological roots and significance of these boundaries, as well as the numerous tensions and movements that cluster around them within contemporary Christianity, for example, regarding sexual ethics, sexual orientation, and gender. Theological attempts to move beyond the presumed opposition of sexuality and spirituality are examined in detail. Extra-Christian religious perspectives, including Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and the cultic beliefs and practices of indigenous populations, are drawn into the discussion for comparison.
