THEO 335 - Theology from the Margins

Institution:

Bellarmine University

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces origins and developments in theological discussions among marginalized groups and pays special attention to feminist theology. Students taking this course will confront challenging questions asked by those who are working for justice in a variety of different contexts: How does the way we talk about God influence Christian practice? Does God take sides in the struggle for justice? Does God identify more with those who are poor or the least powerful in society? Who is Christ in the eyes of those who are oppressed? What is my role in addressing the needs of those who live on the margins? Among others, students will encounter the voices of James Cone, Musa Dube, Katie Cannon, Gustavo Gutierrez, Letty Russell, Rosemary Radford Ruether, and Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz. (Prerequisite: Theo. 200.) Alternate years.
