THST 3239 Christian Holiness: Being Human, Becoming God

4 semester hours

This class will study Christian notions of sanctity in the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant traditions. The concept of “the communion of saints” will be explored both in formal academic theological reflection but also by means of reference to the genres of hagiography and to the writings of canonized saints and other exemplary figures.
