This course introduces students to classic texts and themes related to human and divine love. Through a careful study of primary texts, both in theoretical and narrative formats, the course is designed to promote extensive classroom conversation and written reflection as we consider forms of love such as affection, friendship, erotic attraction, and agapeic service. Other important themes that will emerge in our study include: freedom, rivalry, suffering, death, beauty, conversion, heroism, and vocation. By situating the dynamics of human and divine love in this way, the course offers an opportunity to reflect upon the meaning of the human condition.
