    3.00 Credits
    King's College - Pennsylvania

    This is the first of the two-part, chronologically arranged, literature component of the Honors Program requirements. While the primary focus is on the literary works of Europe during the centuries in which the Western tradition in letters was established and developed, these literary works will be contextualized by reference to the other arts (Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Music) and the general history of the periods under inspection. Literary works and authors that may be considered include: Gilgamesh, the Homeric epics, the Greek tragedians, The Aeneid, Ovid, The Song of Roland, The Poem of my Cid, St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, Petrarch, Dante Alighieri, Shakespeare, and Milton.

  • HNRS 204: Modern & Contemporary Lit

    3.00 Credits
    King's College - Pennsylvania

    This is the second half of the Literature component of the Honors Program. Although the Renaissance and Baroque ages are still devoted to the traditions developed in the preceding ages, the monolithic structures of European culture begin to crack under the forces of the Reformation in theology, the neo-pagan and syncretic philosophy of the Humanists, and the rise of national states which begin to replace the pan-European idea of Christendom with ethnic-centered ideas of citizenship. As we progress through time, we will note the traditional pillars of European culture, such as the Judeo-Christian world-view, and the supremacy of naturalism and mimesis in art, being challenged by the rationalism of the 18th century, the cult of the individual (ushered in by Romanticism), and new, abstract and non-representational approaches to art in general. Our discussion will end with a look at our contemporary "rudderless" culture, the post-modern world, in which few, if any, shared ideals and referents may be taken for granted.

  • HNRS 250: Christian Theological Trad.

    3.00 Credits
    King's College - Pennsylvania

    This course introduces students to Christian theology, from its sources in ancient Judaism to today. It explores in particular the Christian idea of salvation history by examining what major Christian thinkers have said about God; creation; sin; God's election of Israel; the redemption of the human race through Jesus Christ; and Christian life, love, and worship in the time before the end of the world. The course will also give attention to how theology draws from and responds to the cultures in which Christianity finds itself. The course aims as well to help students understand the tremendous theological diversity of the Christian tradition; in addition to the bible, we will read authors from the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant traditions, and from all periods of Christian history.
