| Course Cluster: Christianity Studies |
This seminar critically explores images and concepts of God and humanity in contemporary currents of feminist, liberationist, deconstructive and systematic theology. However, this Fall most attention will be given to recent and wide-ranging theologies of creation. Attention will also be given to methods, i.e., combinations of biblical interpretation, historical reconstruction, and socio-cultural analysis in a variety of theological proposals from the Americas to South Africa. |
