Description: Christianity is the world’s largest religion with nearly one-third of our global population identifying as followers. As a result, Christian ideologies and values have shaped our history and continue to shape our future. Romans serves as an important book of the Bible that outlines these influential Christian themes. For non-religious and religious students alike, this course’s study on Romans will frame a greater understanding on Christian faith as we discuss topics such as the Christian God’s wrath and love, suffering and justification, mercy and grace, and righteousness. Ultimately, through seminar-based classes, we will have Biblical and academic discussions that will pave the way to answer: What do Christians believe and why? Using one contextual creative assignment, two reading recap paragraphs, and one final presentation, students of this course will walk away with a greater scholarly and personal understanding of Romans and the Christian faith.
