Course Description

IN PERSON: This course will explore the central role of Mary in Catholic Christian theology and in ecumenical discussions. With little historical information about Mary, her story has had a powerful symbolic trajectory across cultures and eras. This course will examine diverse interpretations of Mary as prefigured in the Hebrew Scriptures, and later the Quran, but especially in the New Testament Scriptures. Some attention will be paid to her primary place in Christian art, architecture and feasts in her honor through the centuries as well as the development of a variety of devotional practices. Students will gain insight into how Mary has been venerated and symbolically appropriated as the ideal disciple of Jesus. Guest speakers will join us for deeper discussion across a variety of faith traditions. We will bring forward a rich perspective on Mary’s enduring significance in Christian faith and tradition. | Lecture + Q&A, Facilitated discussion.

Max enrollment: 15.
