CTI 236 - The Sacramental Tradition in Ireland

Institution:

William Jewell College

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the history and the richness of the sacramental tradition in Ireland. Irish culture is steeped in religion and the incarnational life, celebrating the Jesus who ate,worked, and played, as well as the Jesus who prayed. The beauty, and the limits, of this way of life will unfold through an examination of the sacramental tradition in contrast to other Christian traditions; a study of the history and poetry of the Celtic Christians; and a reading of Angela's Ashes, (a contemporary memoir), the short stories of Frank O'Connor, and James Joyce's The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. ( Interdisciplinary humanities/religion course)
