Description:

This course investigates ways that victims of societal oppression are reinterpreting Jesus and his message in our time. The perspectives of blacks, women, and the Latin American poor are used to explore the revolutionary potential of the biblical story. These perspectives call for a critical analysis of the Christian tradition to test its ability to address needs of oppressed people in their daily struggles for survival and human dignity. The course examines Christianity as a possible inspiration and impetus to create radically new kinds of relationsips between races, sexes and classes of people at the societal level.
