Most human lives contain major turning points: crises that transform an individual’s future development. On a much larger scale, cultures undergo crises too: political, intellectual, and religious changes that alter forever the course of human history. This course will focus on both kinds of crisis.
We will consider the personal upheavals brought about by the political, social, religious, and erotic ties of our authors and their characters. These crises were pivotal moments which dramatically altered the trajectory of their lives. Moreover, each of our texts reflects not only a personal crisis but also the turbulence of its cultural environment; and each develops a unique strategy for coping with it.
In addition to offering a unique introduction to these great texts, this course aims to provide a conceptual and historical framework enabling you to address crises in your own life and in the modern world with a greater degree of understanding and, perhaps, a clearer sense of how to survive them.

Your Thinking About Faith, Reason and Free Will Not Be The Same After Listening To These Lectures, July 04, 2008
Reviewer: llyon
I cherish these lectures. I attended college in the '60's and didn't have the maturity to understand how someone who lived so long ago, who didn't understand that the earth went around the sun or any of the other scientific achievements of our current age could have anything valuable to say to me. I realize now that people struggled then as now with basically the same issues and crisis as now and treatment by the ancients are works of beauty.
Professor's McCall and Evans are master teachers who acted more like guides through the material. I've listened to these lectures several times and learn something new each time. Like a good book where the characters become your friends, you will not want this class to end.
