THEO 268 - Theology and Horror Fiction

Credit Hours 3
This course will explore how modern horror fiction engages and reflects themes and that are found in the biblical and Christian theological traditions, such as the human condition, the problem of mortality, good and evil, social justice, war, gender, and the role of nature. Using literary and theological methods, the course will look at specific traditional examples, such as the Books of Genesis and Revelation, before focusing on modern horror fiction, such as I Am Legend, Frankenstein, The Monstromologist, The Walking Dead, World War Z, and The Shining (among others).

This course will satisfy the core area requirement in theology.
