THEO 1402 God, Self, and Society

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the dynamics of theological reflection in an academic setting. Framed as a quest for truth, transformation, and justice, the course invites students to explore key questions and themes of enduring human significance in conversation with the classic texts, ideas, and practices that animate the Christian theological tradition. Such questions include: What is theology? What is the ultimate horizon of our lives? What does it mean to be human? Who is Jesus Christ? And how can we know and serve the common good? Satisfies Core requirement for: Theology (Christian Theology)
