HNR-375 LLLC Seminar V: Who is our Neighbor?

Liberal Learning and Life Calling Seminars are interdisciplinary studies of the foundational questions intrincis to human existence. Each seminar explores the nature and significance of one of these questions: most fundamentally, within the framework of historic Christian theology and practice, but also in the light of various relevant academic disciplines and contemporary ideologies. The ultimate goal of the seminars is to equip students to better understand the meaning and purpose of life by cultivating an historic Christian vision of human flourishing and the capacity to discern how this vision relates to competing conceptions of human existence. HNR-375 focuses on the character of human community and diversity in light of Christian conceptions of creation, sin, redemption, and reconciliation. Drawing on canonical and theological writings, as well as disciplines such as history, sociology, political science, and intercultural studies, the course will help students to develop both a theologically grounded response to the question, "Who is our neighbor?", and a well-informed understanding of how to embody their response in a variety of diverse contexts. Meets Intercultural Competency requirements. Prerequisite: HNR170
