THEO 315Enduring Questions in Theology4

Human beings innately feel deep questions about themselves, about God, and about the surrounding world. Some of these questions include: What can we know about God? What is the relationship between faith and reason? What does it mean to be human? Why is there evil in the world? This course considers some of the ways that Christian theological traditions have responded to fundamental human questions throughout history and are responding to them today. A signiﬁcant goal of the course is to empower students to formulate unique arguments related to the perennial questions of theology by integrating theological wisdom from contrasting perspectives. or INTG XXXG) and (INTG 100 or INTG 200 or INTG 205 or HONR 101 or HONR 110 or HONR 220A or INTG XXXF) and THEO 313

THEO 319FGod, Human Beings and Salvation4

At the heart of Christian faith lies the conviction that sinful human beings are redeemed and saved through Jesus Christ who introduces them into a new and grace-ﬁlled relationship with God. While such a belief is universal to all Christians, the speciﬁc way in which redemption and salvation is understood has assumed varied expressions throughout the history of Christian thought. This course will explore Christian attempts to understand human salvation with particular focus on the notion of “justiﬁcation” – the movement of a person from a state of sin into a state of grace. Central to this exploration will be the study of how God and human beings both play meaningful roles in the process of justiﬁcation and the movement toward eternal life. As they relate to this central theme, the course will also explore topics including Christ’s role as savior, faith, grace, merit, sin, free will, and predestination. Surveying justiﬁcation from a historical perspective, the course will offer students the opportunity to compare and evaluate diverse viewpoints using skills and vocabulary acquired during the semester.

THEO 320Fairness and Faith: What is Justice?4

People today disagree about “What’s fair?” – both personally and in the life of nations. From the Scriptures to the 21st century, Christians have struggled to answer the underlying question, “What is justice and what does justice require?” The development of doctrine in the Christian tradition means that we today have lots to learn from the tradition but also that we have to apply traditional insights to new settings where the concrete implications of those insights are often different today from those in the past. Is there too much economic inequality today? Is US capitalism just? Is liberation theology or libertarianism a better answer? Students will analyze a variety of theological and philosophical texts to under how Christians have engaged issues of justice, both historically and in contemporary debates from left to right on the political spectrum.

THEO 322Christian Social Ethics4

This course examines the implications of Christian theology for the ethical life of contemporary society. Drawing from the social dimensions of biblical ethics, Catholic Social Teaching, and diverse theological approaches to communal and civic life, students will both explore what it means to discern and craft a “social ethic,” and will apply those ethics to particular contemporary social issues. Topics will include the social and civic implications of the sanctity of human life, subsidiarity and solidarity, the dignity of work, and the connections between Christian sacramental life and social ethics. As they relate to these topics, particular focus will be given to issues of race, labor rights/practices, LGBTQ+ issues, and issues associated with the use of coercive force/violence.

THEO 324Engaging Doubt and Belief4

This course examines theological approaches to doubt and problems of theistic belief. Drawing from theological and philosophical sources, the course focuses on challenges to theistic belief deriving especially from the problem of evil and suffering(e.g. how can a loving God allow so much misery in the world), questions of the reasonableness and relevance of theism, and the sometimes tense relationship between doubt, belief, and organized religion. The course engages diverse approaches to atheism, agnosticism, and theism, ultimately aimed at helping students to craft their own intellectually integrated approach to questions of belief and doubt.

THEO 328U.S. Latino/a Theologies4

This course in “U.S. Latino/a Theologies” aims to introduce students to the analytic and constructive practice of “theological discourse” as distinctively enriched by U.S. Latin American perspectives. Like all theological endeavors, U.S. Latino/a theological perspectives seek to express the reality of God’s revelation to humankind and God’s on-going presence among human beings in ways that add understanding and wisdom to people’s experience of God, one another, and the world around them. While much of the Christian tradition is continuous and shared among diverse peoples, this course will enable students to explore how U.S. Latino/a experiences (e.g. religious, social, cultural, gender, racial, economic, political, etc) provide vital theological insight and approaches to work of Christian theology and practice. To that end, the course will look at the development of U.S. Latino/a Theology (1) in connection with the Latin American traditions of liberation theology, (2) in its distinctive methodological perspectives, (3) in its constructive treatment of God, human beings, and salvation, (4) as a source for Christian Spirituality, and (5) for the way in which it is giving shape to the U.S. church in general and the Roman Catholic Church in particular. As the course proceeds, it seeks to build an increasingly rich and multifaceted sense of what it means to engage or practice U.S. Latino/a theologies. To that end, the course cultivates comprehension of the central ideas shaping U.S. Latino/a theologies and the skills to engage, analyze, and asses the theological content and merit of various positions and perspectives, thereby affording students the opportunity to practice theological discourse in their own right.

THEO 329DTheologies of Liberation4

Liberation theology is the name for a well-known and, to some, notorious form of religious action and reflection that emerged in Latin American some forty years ago. Today, it has now grown into a family of related though different theologies, which have similar methods, and which all start for the experience of oppression. Although Latin American theology of liberation is perhaps the most influential expression of this relation in the twentieth century, other forms of religious reflection owe a debt to liberation theology, even as they add to the profundity of its insights. This course will begin with Latin American liberation theology and then turn to the work of black, feminist, womanist, U.S. Latino/a, gay/lesbian and ecological theologies to broaden our understanding of the relationship between the Gospels and the imperative to structural change in our society.

THEO 349HChristianity and Colonialism in Ireland4

This course in Christianity and Colonialism in Ireland offers an exploration of Christian theology in the context of Irish history and contemporary culture. The broad topic of Christianity and Colonialism allows us to analyze ancient and contemporary sites through the lenses of both Christian theology and postcolonial theory. As we encounter the legacies of Celtic spirituality, Roman Catholicism, and the Anglican Church, alongside various other forms of contemporary Irish religiosity both beyond and within Christianity, students encounter evidence that culture is never monolithic and that social power structures impact the formation of cultural diversities. Theological texts studied in the course help students analyze ways in which Christianity has functioned in Ireland both as a colonizing force and as a source of anti-colonial resistance.

THEO 369BModern Islam Political Movement4

After providing an introduction to the beliefs, practices, and history of Islam, this course will analyze some of the relationships between Islam and politics in the twentieth and twenty-ﬁrst centuries among Islamist (or “fundamentalist Islamic groups”) in the Middle East, South Asia, and other parts of the world. Speciﬁcally, the course will examine the histories, ideologies, and structures of groups. This course will examine the religious, theological, and political, foundations of these groups while analyzing their work in education, literacy, social service to people in many sectors of societies (including the underprivileged), religious and political instruction, and community-building.

THEO 369CIslam and Gender4

This course will focus on the various ways in which relations between Muslim women and men have been appropriated, interpreted, and concretized in a variety of real-life situations throughout the early, medieval, and modern periods in Islam with a regional focus on Islam and gender in the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, Europe, and/or North America. This course will use gender as a primary lens of analysis for examining course content by examining the, at times static and at other times dynamic, roles of women and men in societies where Muslims are in the majority and others where they are the minority in order to gain an understanding of the relationship between appropriations of gender with respect to Islam and its corresponding cultural contexts.

THEO 369DSPIRITUAL/POLITIC ISLAM (TI)4

Islam shapes much of our current political and social context: 9/11, the Arab spring, ISIS, the war in Syria, our complex relationship with Iran, all have a major impact on the world we live in. Islam is also the fastest growing faith, both globally and here in America. This course will focus on how Muslims have encountered God, how this encounter informs their daily lives, and how the traditions of Islam are influencing and informing (or not) current political and cultural events around the globe. Studying another faith tradition also provides a lens through which to examine one’s own faith and society, and an appreciation for the commonality of the human condition. Our study of Islam while looking at the particulars of that faith, will also raise a variety of broad questions, including the conflict of faith versus reason, the role and position of women, the rights of religious and cultural minorities, freedom of speech vs. religious respect, and multiculturalism vs. assimilation.

THEO 376Theology in Dialogue4

Theology as a discipline, practice, and method of inquiry does not exist in a vacuum. The reality of religious pluralism requires theologians to be conversant with faith traditions other than their own and competent in the methods of interfaith dialogue. To speak conﬁdently and intelligibly to the signs of the time and the myriad of challenges the world faces, theologians will also need to be capable of doing their work in conversation across disciplines—learning from and working with of of thinkers committed to a common cause. In this course, students will learn to articulate the dialogical dimensions of theology, will be equipped with the skills to engage in dialogue, and will examine both the problems and possibilities that such a dialogical approach offers. The particularities of the course will change with the expertise of the instructor. For interfaith dialogue, a course might focus on Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and/or Hinduism in dialogue. For an interdisciplinary approach, a course might focus on theology and ecology, theology and art, and/or theology and economics. Regardless of the instructor, students will gain fluency in doing theology in dialogue. INTG XXXG) and THEO 313
