REL 152: Christianity and Modern Culture
3.00 Credits
Washington and Lee University
In responding to the anxiety and disintegration of medieval Christianity, Martin Luther and the Reformers launched ideas that had a decisive impact, intended or not, on how modernity would view freedom, individual autonomy, rationality, authority, and the natural world. This course introduces students to the forms of modern culture from the Reformation to the 19th century. Readings are drawn from selected primary sources in theology, philosophy, and literature, as well as from contemporary historical considerations. Kosky.

REL 153: Jesus in Fact, Fiction, and Film
3.00 Credits
Washington and Lee University
A study of representations of Jesus in history, fiction, and film and the ways in which they both reflect and generate diverse cultural identities from antiquity to the present. The course begins with the historical Jesus and controversies about his identity in antiquity and then focuses on parallel controversies in modern and postmodern fiction and film. Readings include early Christian literature (canonical and non-canonical), several modern novels and works of short fiction, and theoretical works on the relationship of literature to religion. In addition, we study several cinematic treatments of Jesus dating from the beginnings of filmmaking to the present. Brown.

REL 203: Modern Disenchantment and the Possibilities for Re-Enchantment
3.00 Credits
Washington and Lee University
Scholars interested in the meaning of modernity have long used the category “disenchantment” to characterize this age. With this term, they paint a picture in which modernity is understood to entail the decline and/or transformation of religious thought and practice in the west. Recent developments might suggest, however, that a simple reading of “disenchantment” is no longer the best way to understand contemporary culture. Students consider depictions of the modern west from the perspective of disciplines including sociology, economics, science and technology studies, aesthetics, and philosophy and theology. In the course of our explorations, we consider sociological, economic, scientific, aesthetic, and technological dimensions of the modern west, the impact these have on religion, and their relevance to a possible re-enchantment. Kosky.
