ENG 205 Religious Experience in Literature

3 Credits

Students are engaged in an interdisciplinary exploration of literary expressions of the relationship between God and the universe, including the poetic, dramatic, cinematic, and narrative articulation of individual faith experience both in biblical and non-biblical writing. Through a special focus on expressions of spiritual quest, mystical and apocalyptical experiences, and the mystery of evil, students come to an appreciation of the way in which religious beliefs and traditions illuminate the forms, ideas, and significance of particular classical and contemporary works of literature.
