INST 662B - Theology of Poverty

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Interdisciplinary Studies

Description:

The purpose of this course is to equip students who are Christian development practitioners with the ability to reflect biblically, theologically and historically about their vocation and the challenges of poverty that they encounter on a daily basis. As an introductory level course, its intent is to raise issues from a theological perspective that will be analyzed more fully in subsequent courses from the perspective of social scientific research and practice. Social scientific perspectives will also be utilized in this course to the extent that they contribute to evangelical and ecumenical theological reflection about poverty and development in the diverse contexts of development practitioners. Pass/Fail grading for urban concentration. This is the second of two parts.
