Most likely, you have heard of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Beyond these authors, though, exists a complex and rich history of Christian philosophy and theology in the Russian context. This class will expose learners to this tradition of Christian thought. This course will provide tools for thinking through the current war between Russia and Ukraine, as well as helping you gain familiarity with the philosophical and theological thinking of another culture.
In addition to Blackboard interactions, Zoom meeting will be held weekly to discuss content for the course.
Learners are required to obtain this book: Fyodor Notes from Underground Vintage Press by Dostoevsky. Wisdom from Mount Athos: The Writings of Staretz Silouan by Staretz Silouan. Confession and Other Religious Writings by Leo Tolstoy.
This course is eligible for 3.0 CEU.
