RIGHTEOUSNESS-BEGIN OF GODS NEW CREBEGINNING OF GOD'S NEW CREATION (IC 2645)
Term: 2012-2013 Fall Semester
Description
An investigation of the notion of "righteousness" in Paul's letters, in writings of Luther and other Reformers, and in the activity of the contemporary church. The interpretation of this key theological concept will guide inquiry into its relevance for understanding and living the gospel as God's disruptive and merciful in-breaking, the nature of good works, the shape of Christian worship and spirituality in differing contexts, and the practices of Christian communities.
