Christ and Culture

Catalog description

Taught by PSR. How do we think and engage theologically with the "world"? What can Christian theology offer to the complexities of today's "public square," which is increasingly multi-cultural and multi-religious? What does theologically informed spiritual formation look like for social transformation? This course invites active engagement with both texts and communities as we analyze the development and multiplicity of approaches to Christology. We will explore what Christ has to do with culture as we work toward constructing a Christian theology of social change and transformation. The class will meet on seven Saturdays over the course of the semester: from 9am to 3:30pm on 9/9, 9/23, 10/7, 10/21, 11/4, and 11/11; and from 9:00am to 12noon on 12/9. This course is also offered entirely online as STRS-8284.
