In this course we use the infinite as a unique springboard from which to dive into the "big questions" of life, such as theexistence and nature of God, and our place in the scheme of things. We begin by studying the infinite, including its history and underlying philosophy, and its connections with absolute truth. Then we branch into related topics beginning with the special and temporal infinity/finiteness of the universe. This look outward leads us to gaze inward: our self awareness, a holistic view of body and mind, our mortality, and theodicy are all topics for reading and discussion. Finally, we consider the existence of absolute moral truth. (No special knowledge of mathematics is needed for this course.) Four Credits Pennings

This course will examine the conflict in Northern Ireland between Catholic nationalists loyal to the cause of a united Ireland and Protestant unionists who wish to remain a part of the United Kingdom. The conflict has political, economic and social dimensions. But religious labels define the place of each in society and are potent symbols that rally the adversaries to their respective causes. A study of this conflict affords the opportunity to examine two communities who employ violence against each other in the service of conflicting ideals and ambitions. The course poses the question: Can values rooted in a Christian heritage shared by these communities be put to work on behalf of an enlightened resolution of the conflict Along the way, this study ought to inform and clarify our own values respecting the use of violence as a means to an end.
