Transforming Christian Theology

Catalog description

Taught by PSR. This course explores the intersections of constructive theology and critical social theory (especially "queer theorizing" around sexuality and gender, but also concerning race, ethnicity, and class). By retrieving key historical insights from the development of traditional Christian doctrinal topics (such as God, Christ, Trinity, salvation, and so on), we will build strategies for transforming Christian theology in light of contemporary challenges and opportunities in Christian witness and ministry. Upgrades available for D.Min. and Ph.D. students. NOTE: This course is the ONLINE version of STRS 3288 Transforming Christian Theology. Only students taking the course as an online course should register using this course number; all others should register for STRS 3288. This course meets asynchronously using Moodle (http://gtu.edu/library/students/moodle-help). High-speed internet connection required. (Occasional synchronous class meetings maybe scheduled; see syllabus for details.) [Introductory courses in church history and theology recommended]
