| Description: | FACE TO FACE COURSE. FRT-101-03: God, Human Limits, and Things That Matter Steve Bowen practiced law for 42 years and has been a trustee of Wabash College for the last 23 years. He graduated from Wabash in 1968. Derek Nelson is a religion professor, meat smoker, and mortise-and-tenon furniture aficionado who loves to read. He is also a pastor, dad, husband, and a rather lousy golfer. Nothing is forever, and not everything is possible. Limits exist and cannot be ignored without (potentially grave) consequences. In this seminar, we will consider important questions that confront us in our daily lives, and to which we must respond: "Are we as free as we think we are." "In what or in whom should we put our trust?" "What is worth loving or desiring?" "What do we dare hope for?" "Does the idea of God (or the infinite) cohere with the limits of human knowledge, and if so, how?" We will explore these questions through fiction, film, theological and philosophical texts, and other essays. |
