PSTH 602 - The Spirituality of Howard Thurman3 credits
This course will survey the life and ministry of Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman. Within the framework of spirituality, the class will critically inspect his theological foundations, his theological formation, his particular theology (with particular emphasis on his views of God, Jesus, mysticism, homiletical theology, and liturgical theology), the practice of that theology, the pivotal points of his ministry, and his positive contributions to race relations, religious studies, ecumenism, and interfaith dialogue. Also, this course will investigate the historical significance of Rev. Thurman’s ministry with particular attention given to the periods of the Social Gospel and the Civil Rights Movement. The course seeks to increase the student’s learning through multiple methods: class discussion of readings and lectures, exploration of spiritual disciplines, extemporaneous exercises, written assignments, and experiencing and analyzing Thurman via video and audio mediums.
