The Puritan Literary Imagination
This course is also offered as ARTS 512
Course Description
Immerse yourself in two classics of the Christian imagination: Milton’s Paradise Lost (1667) and Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress (1678). Written just over a decade apart, these texts have profoundly shaped the modern literary and theological imagination–especially our concepts of God, Satan, sin, the fall, human nature, and paradise. Join us as we explore the artistry and doctrinal perspectives of these two seventeenth-century Puritans and encounter afresh their remarkable insights into the Christian experience.
Classes will begin with a short 20–25 minute mini-lecture introducing the key themes under discussion and providing relevant historical contexts, followed by open discussion in seminar-style format.
