TM 802 Seminar: Theology, Education and Liberation (Spring: 03)
What does it mean to “teach as Jesus taught,” especially in
situations where human dignity is threatened and compromised by vulnerability,
catastrophe, terror, uncertainty, and misery? Using the writings of Brazilian
theorist Paulo Freire as a point of reference for theological inquiry and
critical reflection, this course sets Freire’s insights in conversation
with those of contemporary biblical scholars, theologians, educators and
philosophers who believe “another world is possible.” The course
examines the interconnectedness of love, hope, faith, freedom, wonder, dialogue
and moral agency in promoting the Gospel of life and counteracting the “culture
of death.”
