Description:
NEW in 2022-2023! In this precursor class to our original upper-level Inkings & Classics Socratic Discussion course, students will develop critical thinking, listening, and discussion skills as they grapple with foundational questions of faith and existence. Students will read and discuss a variety of classic literature along with selected works of the writers known as the Inklings, especially C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, as well as similar-minded contemporaries such as Dorothy Sayers and G. K. Chesterton. This course is designed to be taken prior to or instead of our upper-level Inklings & Socratic Discussion course, not concurrently.
Students will be expected to complete reading assignments in preparation for class, and there may be optional writing assignments.
