TH322 The Virtuous Life

3 cr. credit(s)
Every religious worldview has an understanding of the good life, and what it means to be good.  Within Judaism and Christianity there are schools of thought in the moral theology (for example, virtue theory, divine command theory, natural law theory, biblical ethics, etc.), as well as a broader concern with social justice issues (commonly called Catholic Social Teaching).  This course explores some of those schools of thought and the challenge of social justice through key texts and experiential learning.  This course engages in a supplementary global learning engagement through Catholic Relief Services University.  Students will research and present the challenges of a difficult ethical issue of their choosing. Prerequisite: TH285  or permission of instructor.
