ENGL 239 - How Literature Addresses Enduring Questions 3 Credit Hours
Which questions about the value and purposes of human life lie at the heart of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism? Literary responses include writings about the individual’s search to discover meaning in the physical and spiritual dimensions of life, including the search for wisdom while encountering trials of body and spirit, and the mindful cultivation of the virtues. The important questions are taken up by scriptural traditions and by literature’s expressions of the cultural, tribal, and gendered conditions and hopes of people making their human journeys. By initiating dialogues among students about such common themes, this course invites students to read works from several traditions.
Prerequisite(s): ENGL 101 or CRWS 101 or equivalent.
