HC ARHU

2 credits
Second-module continuation of RELG 241; it continues the approach of studying themes in the moral life as articulated conceptually by religious ethicists and as presented in the world of fictional novels. In this course we will focus on essays and novels by Marilynne Robinson to explore key topics in ethics such as love, forgiveness, transcendent value, and human nature. Readings will include works by religious ethicists, selected essays by Marilynne Robinson, and her novels Gilead and Home.
