THRS 321 - Grace: Christian Transcendence

Unit(s): 4

Christian teachings on grace have helped shape Western civilization. The question of grace, therefore, is of interest to anyone interested in Western culture, from a secular as well as a religious view point. Popular discourse on religion in the Western world, however, could lead one to believe that the Christian religion is primarily concerned with contentious questions of right and wrong conduct. Is there more to religion than ethics? This course sets about answering this question systematically, offering an understanding of the category of ‘grace’ as a means to a deeper appropriation and understanding of the Western cultural heritage.
