TRS 753D Spiritual Practices
This course will investigate some traditional spiritual practices as a means of shaping and forming a religious and virtuous self. Contributions of Michel Foucault, Michel de Certeau, Talal Assad, and others on the important role of spiritual practices will provide a theoretical perspective. Hospitality, forgiveness, fasting, lectio divina, confession, celibacy, and spiritual direction are among the practices to be examined.
