Description

Atheist and fundamentalist caricatures tend to dominate our public discourse about God. Focusing on the deep connection between knowing God and knowing oneself and others, this course explores how a range of classic and contemporary Christian theologians provide deeper and more expansive ways of knowing and experiencing the reality of God. Situating these ways of knowing God in relation to contemporary debates, this course attends to the role of biblical interpretation and spiritual practice in theology even as it relates discourse about God to community, mission, justice, and ecumenical and interreligious dialogue.
