Class Heading

Filed under: Uncategorized — gngrbrdmn @ 7:56 pm

I have thus far really enjoyed the information presented by Prof. Mozaffar. This past week he mentioned that for the remainder of the semester he was going to frequently ask difficult, ‘grey’ questions. I would normally not have any objections to something like this, but I am concerned with how deep the conversations will truly be allowed to go. Although the class is relatively small I am sure that there is a large range of belief present. In my opinion there are many questions and discussions that need to be had before we as a class, and diverse group of people, can have a meaningful and progressive discussion on questions like predestination vs. freewill. I transferred from a bible institute before coming to Loyola and it wasn’t until junior/senior year before questions of this difficulty were academically dealt with. But, if the purpose is only to get us to begin to think about these questions then I retract my comments, or if Prof. Mozaffar is aiming at some endpoint that my feeble mind has yet to fathom then I also retract.
