HD879 Women of Color as Public Theologians Riggs In this seminar students study the lives and writings of women of color from the nineteenth through the twenty-first centuries. The lives and writings of these women are explored as models for faithful discipleship and doing public theology (constructive ethical reflection) on issues of social justice and public policy. Students complete a social media project to disseminate their public theologies. 3 credits HD882 Doing Theology Amid Religious Pluralism Moore-Keish Explores Christian constructive theological responses to situations of religious diversity from the early church to the present, with an emphasis on contemporary voices. Inspired by the work of Diana Eck and the Pluralism Project, the approach to “pluralism” will emphasize appreciation for the variety of religious traditions, with attention to difference as well as commonality. Enables students to see that religious pluralism is not a new situation, but one that Christians have been addressing since the period of the New Testament. Students will engage several perspectives on religious pluralism, with the goal of developing their own theological interpretations, and with attention to navigating religious diversity in their specific ministry contexts.
