This course provides a broad introduction to great political theory in the Western tradition, with special emphasis on the history of Christian political thought. It will address perennial questions addressed by both Christian and non-Christian political thinkers, such as: What is justice? What is the foundation of political authority? What is the proper relationship of church and state? These questions will be
approached more normatively (asking how societies ought to answer them) than descriptively (observing how they have answered them).
On their first day of class, students in Dr. Ridhwan Olaoke’s Introduction to Business class were each given a dollar with the option to keep it or pool together with their classmates to purchase a goat through World Renew, supporting business development in developing countries. Some chose to give more, and together, they raised enough to provide not just one but two goats. A small gesture with a big impact!
