THLE 633 - Theology and a Movie

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Theology and Ethics

Description:

The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with various contextualized theologies (commonly referred to as "theologies of liberation"), including Feminist, Womanist, African American, Latinoa, and Asian American theologies. It will do so by using Latin American theology of liberation as a foundational starting point to describe their general methodologies, contexts, perspectives, and teachings. Students will have the opportunity to read primary texts, as well as view pre-selected films from popular culture to critically examine the social locations from which these theologies arise. Students will be evaluated by their active participation and contribution to the course discussion, their ability to evaluate the material (especially the films) critically in biweekly reflection papers, and the construction of a final research paper exploring a specific topic within a particular theology of liberation.
