This is my last semester at Luther, and I have satisfied most of my requirements for everything; all I need to do now is gather a few remaining credits. Here is my list of classes for this semester.
PE-100: Personal Fitness & Wellness: “This course will focus on the knowlege and skills necessary for developing and maintaining a healthy, physically active lifestyle throughout one’s lifespan. General topics include major health issues such as physical fitness, nutrition, stress management, substance abuse and disease prevention.”
PCAP-450: Stewardship & Sustainable Development: US Energy Policy: “Since energy is vital to all dimensions of life, patterns related to energy production and consumption pose a host of social, political, and environmental challenges that require moral deliberation. This course draws upon the Christian stewardship tradition and the concept of sustainable development to examine U. S. energy issues. The course gives special attention to the energy policy of the Bush Administration, the potential of renewable energy sources, and the long term disposal of high-level nuclear waste.”
GRK-202: Readings in Greek: I am one of two people in this class, and I’m fairly certain we’ll be doing lots of New Testament study.
HIST-139: Modern Middle East History: “Students in this course investigate the history of the Middle East, including Iran, Turkey, and northern Africa. With a focus on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the course allows students to understand the cultural and material processes that inform current events. The course provides important historical context for intellectual discussion among the Abrahamic traditions and requires students to consider social, economic, and cultural factors that may find expression in religious canon and practice.”
PHIL-230: Philosophy of Science: “A study of the nature of scientific methodology, which has entitled the sciences (especially the natural sciences) to their authoritative status as reliable sources of knowledge and rational belief. This involves issues such as the relation between theory and evidence, the nature of confirmation, explanation, probability, and rational considerations in delivering and consuming scientific information.”
REL-490: Religion Senior Paper: As I mentioned last October, I’ll be writing my senior paper on the emerging church. I’m not yet sure of the focus of the paper – whether it will be an overview or a more focused topic within the emerging church. I have quite the reading list, though, and I’ll likely post that later.
