MARIAN SPIRITUALITY
Easy Listening/Non-credit
 
The course will examine the role of Mary as the Theotokos (she who bears God). Students will deepen their understanding of Mary as God’s servant in the life of the Church through an analysis of Scripture, other non-canonical literature, and the development of the various images of Mary in art. The student will gain a greater devotion and love for the Mother of Jesus as well as understand why this woman has become a figure of such popular and theological significance throughout the history of Catholicism.
