| Through the study of English literature, you will learn to interpret texts, to communicate their interpretations effectively, and, in creative writing courses, to develop your own literary art. The study and creation of imaginative literature makes a unique contribution to the examined Christian life by teaching sensitivity to metaphor and narrative, which is necessary if we are to find ways to conceive of God and ourselves. Studies in English prepare you for careers that demand excellent communication and critical thinking skills, including journalism, media, business, law, publishing, church ministry, and teaching. |
