TH/CO/ET693 Augustine, Restlessness, and Belonging in the Digital Age Since the advent of smartphones and social media, Silicon Valley and big tech’s influence on individual and societal behavior continues to grow. A return to theological sources for ethical assessment is needed to critically evaluate our social context increasingly defined by persuasive media algorithms that often reduce agency to impulse, objectification, and commodification.

The course will consist of lectures, reading, writing, and discussion. Pre-requisites: CH501, NT501 and TH501.

TH/CH766 Readings in Orthodoxy and Gnosticism The interaction between orthodox Christianity and Gnosticism in the second and third centuries is of vital importance for at least two reasons.
