TMPT 8022 Seminar in Practical Theology
An exploration of Practical Theology, its history, methodological commitments, and intent. Practical theology is theology at the service of life. It is theology that takes seriously cultural, social, and political contexts, historical times, places and peoples, as it utilizes the resources of Scripture, tradition and experience. In this course, we will examine Practical Theologys claims for the theory/praxis nexus, interculturality, interdisciplinarity, the noetic content in religious practices, and the significance of bodiliness and context.
