This seminar, geared for senior theology majors in the Religion and Culture track, studied the contemporary issue of "pluralism" from a theological perspective. This particular section focused on the topic of forgiveness: what is its meaning and promise, and what are its limits? Although a focus was given to Christian resources, this course sought to examine the issue using theological, psychological, philosophical, and political approaches, drawing from Jewish and Muslim traditions as well as some non-religious perspectives. This course (THEO-297) was taught by William Werpehowski as a Doyle Seminar (small upper-level classes that foster deepened student learning about diversity and difference through research and dialogue).
