Interesting Class on Myth and Religion

Posted by Admin On 10:27:00 PM
This semester HTS and LMC are offering an interesting class being taught by Dr. Ken Knoespel in HTS and Professor Bruce McEver in LMC.  The class is called "The Role of Myth and Religion in Shaping an Idea of Community: Witness to a Changing Conscience" and is a three credit hour, letter graded course that is cross-listed between HTS and LMC.  It is on Tuesdays from 3.05 - 5.55 PM.  Course numbers and CRNs are listed below.

The class is devoted to the study of writers whose works have shaped the ways we think about what it means to be a human being in the world of others.  After considering a cluster of writing that explores the relation between myth and religion, the class will turn its attention to writing that witnesses to fundamental transformations in individual moral consciousness in a world transformed by scientific and technological development.

The class will also welcome distinguished leaders whose voices have provided guidance for this country and the world. Since this is a class that will meet once a week regular attendance and generous participation in discussions is expected.

You can read more about Georgia Tech alum and poet Bruce McEver here: http://poetry.gatech.edu/mcever.html.  The syllabus for the class is here.
