RST 100/130 - Sacred Text and Social Justice (Core/First-Year Seminar)

Three or Four Credits
Offered Periodically

From Women’s Suffrage to Black Lives Matter, arguments about biblical texts were and are used simultaneously by those who strive for justice and those who vigorously maintain the status quo.  In this course, we will consider the role of “biblical reasoning” in the social and political landscape of the United States with particular attention given to radical social movements of the 20th and 21st centuries.
