SPIR-712 Spiritual Formation Seminar: Historical Theology of Person-Forming

This seminar is a doctoral-level exploration of the formation of persons from the perspective of historical theology. Students will examine and deploy concepts related to soteriology, with special reference to Christian traditions of eremitic monasticism. Students will engage relevant texts within their original historical context, with a roughly equal emphasis being given to ancient, medieval and modern voices. Historic practices of selfawareness, such as the Ignatian Examen, will be woven into the course experience, with an eye toward cultivating the graces of faith.
