My course "MIN 340 Theology, Culture and U2" begins again this fall at Fresno Pacific University. This is the third time I will teach it (it's offered every other fall) and it's one of my favorites. I'll try to bring updates from the course to this blog every now-and-then.
I still have room for more students in the class, so if you're in the Fresno, CA area and have Tuesdays from 3:30-5:05 free and want to take it for credit or just audit let me know.
For texts we'll be using Bono in Conversation with Michka Assayas and Get Up Off Your Knees: Preaching the U2 Catalog by Beth Maynard (over at U2 Sermons) and Raewynne J. Whiteley. Beth has been a great friend and somewhat of an inspiration for the class.
Here is a flyer for the course. Here is the the syllabus. And here is the class reading and topic schedule.
Feel free to comment, ask questions or give input.
