How do we understand our faith? It’s much more than a tick-list of beliefs, and if we have our eyes open wide, we find theology in unexpected places. This week we will explore the ways in which theology comes to life in different ways through poetry, memoir and letters—and we’ll even consider how unfinished fragments have something to say about faith.
This course will draw on authors as various as Coleridge, Mary Karr, Ian McEwan, George Eliot, Blake Morrison, St Augustine, Brian Eno, and more.
