What does globalization have to do with theology What happens when the experience of women in diverse cultures becomes the starting point for theological reflection We will explore these questions as we study the texts of contemporary women theologians in the Christian tradition from Latin America, Africa, Asia, and varied contexts within North America. Through analysis of theological method, we will learn to recognize the principles of Liberation Theology at work in new contexts.
