(Fulfills 200 Theology General Education requirement.)
This course will introduce students to central developments in the history of the Christian tradition and to the nature and purpose of Christian theology. It will also encourage students to practice developing a "working theology" by examining primary texts in the Christian intellectual and spiritual tradition. This work will be reflected in three short papers and one longer research paper. Readings may include selections from the Bible, St. Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, as well as selected writings by other classical and contemporary theologians.
The course aims at improving the student's (1) knowledge of Christian theological and practical traditions; (2) ability to read theological texts closely and to think critically about them; and (3) integration and expression, oral and written, of critical reflection on the readings.
