University of Notre Dame

Africana Studies

Description:

This is an introductory course to theology from African American perspective. The course will not only open students to Roman Catholic (intellectual) theological traditions but also to the diversity of approaches in theology within which black theology is located. The dialectical engagement of black theology, the methodological and interpretative shifts that account for its emergence and ongoing development, are rooted in black history and tradition (African and African American). The course has an added pastoral dimension - the preparation for and enhancement of ministry in the Roman Catholic Church to peoples of African descent.
