Course Long Title

Intro to Christian Ethics

Course Description

This course introduces the field of Christian ethics by (1) studying major theoretical approaches, in particular focusing upon Anglican and Lutheran conceptions, and (2) exploring how Christians might address contemporary ethical issues. The course thus aims to advance students' historical and theoretical knowledge but to do so in a way that provides resources for contemporary moral decision-making and pastoral leadership. The structure of the course will combine lectures with class discussions throughout. Evaluation will be based upon a vocabulary quiz, a mid-term paper, a final paper, and class participation. Faculty Consent Required, 30 max enrollment. NOTE, this course is jointly offered by CDSP & PLTS.
