Course Description

This 6-week course explores the life and writings of Frederick Douglass, focusing on his deepest-held convictions. This course offers a multifaceted assessment of Douglass’ engagements with religious groups, Biblical and theological views, and how religion informed his views of politics and society.  Throughout his life, Douglass had a contentious relationship with organized religion, but his nuanced and prophetic vision of Christianity profoundly influenced his life and thought. Ultimately, this course takes a chronological approach through Douglass’ primary sources – including his writings, famous speeches, and lesser-known works – to understand his significance in his own context and continuing relevance to some of today’s most challenging questions.
