Description:

Tutor: Staff In this tutorial, students are introduced to questions concerning the relationships that exist between religion and the public sphere. The works of Reinhold Niebuhr, H.R. Niebuhr and Paul Tillich are examined in the context of the social and historical movements of the 20th Century. The writings of Peter Hodgson, a theologian working in the 21st Century, provide students with a current perspective and offer a point of comparison and contrast with earlier thinkers. Students will also focus on how individual theologians have addressed the questions concerning God and humanity by exploring the dilemma of faith. By focusing on faith, it is possible to explore how theologians attempt to define God and define humanity.
