Life Exam — “This academic semester we’ve been teaching a course at Yale College titled Life Worth Living. We have noted that American colleges and universities have let consideration of great questions about the meaning of life fade out of their curricula. We have become increasingly dedicated to and adept at identifying and deploying the means to achieve our ends, but we get uncomfortable and disoriented if we are forced to ask about the ends of our lives—their goals and meaning.” This article discusses the course, its content (including the Gospel of Luke), and the students.
