Description

This course is designed to ponder stories, pursue questions and consider the gift that lies at the heart of the journey to forgive and reconcile as persons and as a people. To this end, the course will engage several disciplines from its primary ground in theology: psychology and history, literature and political theory, social science and cultural anthropology. Its scope will encompass the inner regions of the human heart, the shape and character of human behavior and the distant reaches of the global family. Students will encounter others in reading, research and conversation whose experiences of ?forgiveness and reconciliation? will inform and challenge their own.
