TM 452 Contextual Theologies:Faith, Praxis,and Culture in Dialogue (Spring: 3)
Offered Periodically
For the past half century theological reflection has been uniquely enriched
by the particular contributions of U.S. Hispanic, Asian-American, and African-American
Catholic theologians. Their voices successfully address major traditional
questions that have driven Christian theological thought (e.g., God, Jesus,
Church) in light of their particular socio-cultural circumstances and the
lived experience of their communities. This course introduces students to
an intercultural conversation among scholars from these three groups (who
together constitute the majority of Catholics in the U.S.) on key theological
questions while envisioning practical implications of their theologies for
the life of the Church and its educating in faith.
