Description |
In this course, students work on constructing their own theologies of salvation (soteriology) in dialogue with questions raised by key historical and contemporary theologians. We will explore soteriology as it relates to theologies of atonement, sin and evil, creation, redemption and eschatology, and the roles played by God and humanity and the person and work of Jesus Christ in processes of redemption. We also explore how key historical movements of social and theological change, as well as pressing, contemporary pastoral questions related to gender-based violence, political and social liberation movements, global Christianity, and inter-faith relations contribute to our own understandings of salvation. Student work will be evaluated based on participation, short figure-based interpretive papers, and a final integrative, constructive theological paper. |
