Welcome to the course, "Readings in Spiritual Classics." The spirit of this course is to share, in the words of St. Augustine, Conloqui et conridere et vicissim benevole obsequi, simul leger libros dulciloquos, simul nugari et simul hoestari. ("Conversations and jokes together, mutual rendering of good services, the reading together of sweetly phrased books, the sharing of nonsense and mutual attentions." Confessions).
I'm looking forward to learning together during our time together.
In this course students will read selected passages in classic Christian literature in spirituality. Through guided online discussion students will engage in critical and reflective study of the historical contexts out of which Christian spirituality has developed and will interpret their own personal spiritual formation in light of historical Christian thought. This course meets program goals 2 and 5 of the MDiv and program goal 1 of the MATS. This is an online course. Three credit hours.3 semester hours credit.
