Course Description

What does it mean to be human, and how do we grow and develop throughout life? In this course, you will engage with contemporary understandings of human development alongside Christian perspectives on human nature and flourishing. You will examine key developmental theories and explore diverse understandings of human experience, including Māori and Pasifika perspectives. As you consider physical, cognitive, social, moral, and spiritual development across the lifespan, you will be encouraged to connect these insights to your own life, faith, and vocation.
