What do zombies and the Bible have in common? They both have to do with the end of the world, of course! We will compare zombies in today’s popular culture with apocalyptic texts in the Bible (and some not in the Bible) in their ancient contexts. The goal of the course is to recognize the apocalyptic worldview behind various texts in Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity and the continuing influence of that worldview to the present day, especially as it manifests in zombie imagery. Through this recognition we will wrestle with apocalyptic and zombie-related themes that are relevant today. By exploring imagery, genre, form, function and context (in all the gory details), we will discover common threads related to symbol, human identity, death, fear, hope and meaning-making.

Inspiring and profound are terms often attributed to the theology of von Balthasar. Benedict XVI said of his work, "His theological reflection maintains intact, to this day, a profound timeliness and leads many to penetrate ever more into the profundity of the mystery of faith". This course begins an exploration of his work. There is consideration of the Trilogy: Herrlichkeit, Theo-Drama and Theo-Logic; the influence of Ignatius Loyola and Adrienne von Speyr; and the place of Mary. Not a course for the faint-hearted, von Balthasar's work is at times dense and complex but the rewards are beyond price.

The course will specifically focus on the muraqabah techniques (such as silence and opening reflections) used in classical Islamic spiritual traditions and engage in comparative analysis between these practices and mindfulness-based stress reduction, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, meditation, transcendental meditation, mind-body techniques (meditation, relaxation) and body-mind techniques. We will also highlight ethical issues, emphasizing that not all Islamic mindfulness practices might be effective for all mental health issues and the importance of familiarity with classical Islamic spiritual traditions before applying Islamic mindfulness techniques.

Both Buddhism and psychoanalysis (and psychotherapy) share an interest into the nature of the mind, consciousness, and the self. While Buddhism attaches soteriological significance to its mapping of the human mind and consciousness, with the ultimate aim of Awakening to the realization of ‘no-self,’ psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic theories and practices developed in Western cultures are framed as secular, and focus on the actualization of one’s self. Over the past century, both Western and Eastern thinkers have been interpreting, comparing, distinguishing, and integrating Buddhist and psychoanalytic (and psychotherapeutic) systems, and in the process, transforming them. This course is an interdisciplinary study of these cross-cultural engagements between Buddhism and psychodynamics with an emphasis on conceptions of the mind, consciousness and self, especially as they relate to psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
