Institution:

Gonzaga University

Subject:

RELIGIOUS STUDIES

Description:

Moral and ethical dilemmas confront every society. Biblical texts address multiple moral and ethical issues, often framing such issues as questions of justice or injustice. This class explores four contemporary ethical issues by placing personal narratives into mutually critical dialogue with biblical texts. We will analyze the interplay between the treatment of ethics in biblical texts and contemporary experiences of justice/injustice. This course focuses upon four contemporary issues: wealth/poverty; wary/violence/peace; nationalism/patriotism; and gender/sexuality.
