MEANINFUL LIVING

​

Course Summary

 

This unit explores the fundamental question of what constitutes a meaningful life with particular reference to how the Christian tradition has addressed this issue and how this wisdom might shape the student’s own life and vocation.

Meaningful Living helps students to reflect upon key elements of personal and corporate flourishing (including biblical, theological and sociological insights), and challenges students to develop their own personal practice framework that will enable and encourage such flourishing.

Key topics include: Self-leadership as starting point for meaningful living; Shalom as unifying integrative teleological framework for meaningful living; theological and sociological reflections on flourishing; biblical reflections on Matthew 5-7 as way of living for flourishing; flourishing self, others, and our world.
