TH 110 The Search for God
The human person longs for that which is beyond him, for the infinite and eternal. This natural desire for the supernatural is expressed throughout human history in religious beliefs and practices the world over, and yet, alongside such longing there remains skepticism towards God’s existence, goodness, and self-revelation. In this course students explore the questions of natural and fundamental theology: What is theology? What is meant by the word "God"? Does God exist? Is faith in God reasonable? Has God made himself known? Students will explore these questions through primary source works of theology and spiritual autobiography.
