This course will introduce students to the theological framework that Christians have historically used to address questions of faith and human existence through the lens of contextual theology. Contextual theology emphasizes the importance of a believing community’s milieu—social, political, geographical, cultural, etc.—in understanding the priorities and contours of their faith and theological reflection. In this course, students will read Scripture and classic Christian texts with an eye to the authors’ and readers’ socio-political realities, as well as how critics and contemporary readers of these texts receive and understand these thinkers. The course will focus particularly on the development of Christian soteriology and anthropology over time and space, as well as the lived effects of different theological expressions for the common good
