Literary Apologetics for Theology is a deeper exploration of the unique ability of stories to convey truths larger than words and vest the world with meaning. Students will increase their knowledge of literary techniques and develop their critical reading and communication skills by interacting with works by Christian literary giants including J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Students who complete this course should be able to identify the relationship between imagination, meaning, reason, and truth, as well as articulate how Christians can utilize imaginative literature to present the Catholic faith in the broader culture.
