A course on religious writing avoids metaphysical and epistemological talk, although these will be welcomed as content of writing outputs.
The course will be primarily about using writing to explore our beliefs and values, help ourselves live with integrity on the values we set for ourselves, and deepen our faith and commitment to our personal beliefs. Likewise, it explores how writing could also liberate us from such beliefs and open ourselves to the beliefs of others.
It will also be about developing processes in expressing our beliefs. This involves finding the right forms to fit what we want to say and developing skills in expressing ourselves in writing.
The course will also involve advice on reading right, taking care of our writings, and deciding how we share our work to others.
