CHST 734 - American Religion through Literature3 credits
This seminar, intended for doctoral students, is a study of literary and popular works that illumine American religious life in various historical periods. Novels and short stories that criticize and/or satirize the role of clergy and the church will be a particular focus, but we will also take a look at literature that seeks to present new or alternative visions of spirituality. In addition to works of high literary value, such as Nathaniel Hawthornes A Scarlet Letter, we also study 19th century popular novels such as like Elizabeth Phelps The Gates Ajar and the recent bestseller Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins.
