THEO 340 - On Being Human

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Theological Studies

Description:

This course will explore the theological, psychological, and sociological dynamics between what it means to be a human person according to Christian tradition. Much of our time will be devoted to unpacking what it means to be created 'in the image of God' with the assumption that human persons are relational beings, created 'good' and assigned a social task, but are also 'fallen' and as suchfulfull that task in ways that generate alienation and violence as opposed to peace and flourishing. Special attention will be given to the role of death and experiences of human vulnerability and anxiety in understanding who we are and why we do the things we do.
