REL 125 - Topics: Race, Gender Sexuality in Christianity (W) (1)

This course will survey the rich history of Christian literature, ascetic practices, and spiritual experiences that have exhibited surprisingly diverse positions regarding how we should think about and respond to matters of race, gender, and sexuality. Students will be invited to consider how others’ experiences of their race, gender, and sexual orientation inform their interpretation of Scripture with respect to issues of authority and morality. Students will become more proficient in writing arguments that exemplify civility, empathy, and constructive criticism.
