The church in many quarters has lost the ability to communicate with the cultures around it. The problem in part may be modernism, not postmodernism. Students will be encouraged creatively to engage cultures through theological engagement with the news and with two sets of arts: the arts needed to proclaim the gospel (often beyond the biblical text) and the arts of using cultural arts paintings, sculpture, dance, architecture, movies, and theatre) and artifacts in the sermon. This class will function as a preaching seminar and laboratory where discussions will cover required readings, writing assignments, and issues raised in class.
Will the universe be destroyed and discarded, or redeemed and transformed with God's consummation of all things? This course considers these and related questions by examining biblical and philosophical foundations for Christian reflections on the beginning and end of the world; significant historical and contemporary theological contributions (e.g., lrenaeus, Origen, Calvin, Moltmann, Ruether, McFague); the significance of the incarnation and resurrection of Jesus Christ; the influence of ecological consciousness, religious pluralism, modern and postmodern scientific thought; varieties of Christian eschatology; and the role of apocalyptic thinking in contemporary culture.
The course will examine Protestant Theological Teaching and Traditions of Spirituality and Formation as rooted in medieval and reformation approaches with a particular reference to the Reformed Tradition. In the light of these traditions the course will challenge students to develop a credible and constructive theological framework for spirituality and formation in the 21st century North American and particularly Canadian context.
