Theological Thinking

Catalog description

Taught by PSR. Theology concerns words, wordings, the Word, or speech about the divine. Long ago, Anselm defined theology as faith seeking understanding. This course offers a space to continue a search that humans have engaged in for millenia-making sense of faith, and the Christian faith in particular. We will learn from the wisdom and the shortcomings of those who have preceded us in seeking to talk meaningfully and responsibly about various theological topics and how they help one to think about social transformation. In addition, we will learn from contemporary quests and concerns as we become active participants in the theological process today.
