Literature class is meant to inspire a love of reading good books, and introduce foundations of literary analysis. Students will be introduced to the practice of reading and responding to texts individually and in conversation with others, in both written and discussion formats. While this course provides an academic context and instructor guidance in the discussion and comprehension of the course texts, the primary goal of the class is to encourage students to develop a love of reading and to share their ideas about what they are reading with others.
In addition to sacred Scripture and Hagiographic primary sources, students will read works of J.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and G.K. Chesterton, this semester.
