Title: Sex, Gender & Christianity
Course Section Number: REL-280-01
Department: Religion
Description: Debates over birth control, LGBTQ+ rights, feminism, and sex education have made headlines throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. These conversations are frequently framed as secular sexuality vs. religion. But what does it mean to study the entangled history of sexuality and religion? In this class, we will explore how Christian leaders and denominations have taken a wide range of positions in modern American culture and politics. Over the course of the semester, we will learn how Christians have created, upheld, and challenged sexual and gender categories and norms. Students will read texts, listen to music, and watch films as they examine the interrelationship of sex, gender, and modern American Christianity. REL-280-01=GEN-277-01
