This course explores the history of Christian Spirituality from the ancient to the modern period. It does so through a careful consideration of select texts from each of the major Christian traditions: Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant. The emphasis of the course will be on understanding these texts within their historical contexts, but students will also be invited to draw on the texts for their own spiritual development. The course will be taught via the discussion format. Course evaluation will consist of weekly response papers, class participation, and a final research paper.
