Engaging the long, rich historical intersection between Christianity and literature, this course surveys Christian writers and texts representing roughly 2,000 years of Christian history. From around the world, Christian writers have produced works in diverse literary genres (e.g., poems, memoirs, novels, short stories, plays) to interrogate the deepest theological and philosophical questions, which is why this course grapples with literary texts that illuminate Christian thought, practice, and experience as they have manifested in various historical times and cultural places.
