HON 260AE - Trying to Imagine God

(4 credits; alternate years, consult department) (NWCore option under Aesthetic Experience)
“Trying to Imagine God” is an Honors course-taken for either AE or LC credit-that invites students to study artists and writers who’ve tried to imagine God in ways that illuminate, shock, and expand how we understand the living center of the Christian faith. In this class, you will read and study literature and art traditionally, as critics and essayists, but also creatively by learning to make literature and art. We will also learn traditional and creative ways to trace the God we know and imagine in in-class and studio assignments and in individually tailored final projects in our chosen genre, be that critical essay, creative writing, or artistic production. This is a class for anyone interested in how God has been imagine in the arts and how we today might imagine God in fresh and faithful ways.

Prerequisite: Membership in the Honors Program.
