Constructive Theology TEOL2790
This course focuses on reconstructing selected core topics in doctrine and addressing contemporary issues through critical engagement with Christian textual and practical traditions. Students will consider the methods, sources, and manifestations in various communities of faith. Students will encounter the selected doctrinal symbols of the Christian tradition in ancient, historical, and contemporary terms, incorporating the voices of a variety of communities, contexts, and concerns. They will learn to work theologically using the resources of a variety of traditions and disciplines, and to translate doctrinal symbols into the various languages of their own personal and communal ecclesial contexts and concerns, as persons-in-community. The goal of this course is to help students practice the concepts and language needed to serve as theological leaders in a variety of communities and ministries. Particular foci of the class are theological hermeneutics, theological anthropology, comparative and interreligious theologies as well as theological responses to climate change.
