Catalog description

the recognition of religious plurality could be the antidote to tensions, conflicts, genocide, and religious annihilation based on the religious superiorism by a dominant religion in today's world. Affirming the existence of "other" religions requires one to fundamentally re-examine and re-conceptualize the nature and vision of Christian ministries and theologies. The primary expectation for students in this course is that students will finish the course with an in-depth understanding of the discourses and practices of other religions than Christianity. This course deals with such complex issues as religious orientalism, a geopolitical dimension of multiple realities of "world religions," some understanding and Christian theological discourses on "other" religions, which are interconnected to the conceptual frameworks of Theo-logy, Christology, and soteriology in Christian theological and ministerial formation and practice.
