Description
We will learn public theology by doing theology. Doing theology begins by identifying the theological issues that underlie urban culture, economy, politics and society. The class will practice a process of theological reflection rooted in an interaction of biblical insight, as it relates to Christology, principalities and powers and social justice. Exercising prophetic imagination and using the city of Chicago as a learning laboratory, the class will explore what it means to pursue and advance substantive Christian moral values in the midst of systemic injustice and secular society. FALL 2012: MEETS IN CHICAGO. NOVEMBER 2-3, 9-10, AND 16-17 (FRIDAYS 1-9PM AND SATURDAYS 9AM-5PM). Also send email to SCUPE Registrar (dody@scupe.com) in addition to registering via MyLutherNet.
