Theological anthropology: Central issues and contemporary challenges TEOL5440
The course concentrates on contemporary topics in theological anthropology that relate to issues that have been central both historically and in a current setting. While focusing on how we need to understand the conditions and limitations of human activity in relation to God and to the world, the course will also show how contemporary theological anthropology can benefit from engaging with other scholarly disciplines (philosophy, anthropology, psychology, sociology), thereby demonstrating the relevance of theological reasoning in a wider societal frame.
The course will be taught through lectures, class room discussions and writing of academic papers.
The course presupposes K5410 Systematic Theology or equivalent.
