THEO 350 - Christian Love

3 hours
Using the love commandments as the cornerstone of a theology of love, this course will examine the place of love in the Christian life. Various aspects of love will be explored so that love for God, love for others, and love for self can be more fully understood and brought into harmony. The material will thus include a broad survey of theological and philosophical writings on love as well as an analysis of relevant biblical texts. Special emphasis will be placed on the expression of love in concrete situations. As such, the course will typically include a service learning unit. UG
