RLS 253 Hope and Despair

3 credits

This course examines hope and despair in the history of Christian thought and in contemporary experience.  In particular, the course will compare ancient theological accounts of despair (e.g., the sin of acedia) with modern psychological and sociological accounts of anxiety and depression.  Finally, we will explore ancient and contemporary analyses of hope as a theological virtue and psychological practice.
