In this course, students will examine the writings of Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109), an eleventh-century Italian thinker who became a monk, prior, archbishop and ultimately a leading theologian of his day. Scholars often treat Anselm as the first scholastic theologian, which to some degree is true. In this course, however, we will seek to understand Anselm the theologian as a constituent of the eleventh century, and of eleventh-century Anglo-Norman monasticism in particular.The focus of the seminars will be mainly on a close reading of theCur Deus homo, a text that Anselm completed by 1098, after he had become archbishop in 1093. We will therefore explore two major contexts: (1) the world of eleventh-century monasticism of Normandy and (2) the world of the archiepiscopacy of Canterbury at the end of this same century. We will seek the read this text in light of the broad tradition of pre-modern treatments of Soteriology andthe Incarnation, but also within the two more immediate contexts.

Using the writings of Thomas Berry & theologians who work with the new cosmology, the course provides an introduction to eco-theology as well as the ways eco-theologians are articulating new understandings of theological anthropology, revelation, Christology, pneumatology, sin and salvation, and eschatology.

This course explores these two movements in eco-theology. The course engages Catholic (magisterial, liberationist and feminist); Protestant; and Eastern Orthodox traditions, as well as several attempts to reconstruct Christian theology all together. Attention will further be given to the new cosmology or epic of evolution that is rooted in the important work of Thomas Berry, Brian Swimme. Yet because climate change disproportionally affects communities in the global South and marginilized communities in the North, the course attends specifically to theologies and perspectives that come from outside the (mainstream) North-Atlantic context. Throughout the course issues of race, gender and class are foregrounded, most notably by listening to eco-feminist/eco-womanist/mujerista eco-theologies.
The Gospel of Mark is the first of the synoptic gospels to be written and one of the sources for the subsequent gospels of Matthew and Luke. Mark's, so called, "low Christology", portrays a Jesus whose disciples are to take up the cross and "follow" him. This course will present a detailed investigation of the author's theology. By means of the historical-critical method and other strategies, attention will be paid to the literary sources, redactional elements and historical context of the gospel.
