THEO 337 - US Hispanic Theology

Institution:

Saint Louis University-Main Campus

Subject:

Theological Studies

Description:

An introduction to Latino/a theologies in the United States, this course will examine the contributions of Hispanic Americans to the field of theology while exploring specific issues, concerns, and beliefs unique to the Hispanic community. This course brings marginalized cultural perspectives into critical conversations with dominant narratives, highlighting the contributions of ethnic minorities and women, and challenging the church and university communities to embody the Gospel¿s inclusive vision where there is no longer Jew or Greek, male or female, rich or poor (Galatians 3:28). In forming men and women for others and in deepening spiritual values in an increasingly interdependent and diverse world, we must think in terms of the global dimensions and implications of knowledge. Critical reflection on cross-cultural issues, whether on the local or global level, is a recurrent theme throughout this course.
