Description: What shaped medieval Christian notions of the body? How did common experiences of pain, sexuality, childbirth, and death refract the grasp of larger concepts - God, time, and the cosmos?

This course is limited to first-year students only, any others will be removed from this course. Cross-list: MDEM 171, RELI 171.
