This class begins with analysis of some contexts in which moral reasoning happens today –
analysis that itself begins the work of moral reasoning. The class then introduces a series of
concepts that have played significant roles in and beyond Western Christian traditions, inviting
students into critical conversation around those concepts. The class concludes by opening into
opportunities to deepen and revise understandings of these terms in the process of using them to
think through questions around two pressing topics: sex and the environment.
