Theologies From the Margin Pastoral Care & Spiritual Accompaniment

Catalog description

Contextual theology entails an ongoing, ever deepening understanding of the revelation of God. Jesus is today seen as one who is sent to liberate the poor, the oppressed, and the silenced. It is the Church's responsibility to look for how Jesus is at work in the actual political, economic, and social sufferings in the world today. This course examines selected voices from the margin such as feminism(s), black theology, and LGBT+. A careful reading and analysis of the role and voice of the oppressed in Christian history, Scripture, and tradition will invite a fuller understanding of faith and humanity.
