THEO 6736 - Christian Feminist Ethics

Institution:

Fordham University

Subject:

Description:

This course will examine women's historical and ongoing contributions to the central sources, components and issues of Christian ethics. These include the use of scripture and human experience in ethical reflection, anthropology, moral reasoning and development, sexuality, economic development and the common good. We will explore these components by evaluating feminist responses to several flash points of ethical debate in our contemporary reality: marriage and the family, bioethics, war and peacemaking, human rights, faith and public life, poverty, AIDS, and environmental justice. The wide range of scholars from various contexts and backgrounds within the Christian tradition that we will explore (Andolson, Cahill, Cannon, Farley, Firer Hinze, Fulkerson, Fritz Cates, Harrison, Isasi-Diaz, Lebacqz, Porter, Ross, Schussler Fiorenza, Welch, West) underscores the inherent limitations of simplistic labels such as "feminist ethics" and points to the ways in which those once on the margins of Christian ethics have relocated its center. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Graduate (Semester) Schedule Types: Lecture Grad Sch of Arts and Sciences College Theology Department
