Course Description:
Post-Modernism is having a profound influence on the Church, from within and without. Changing ideas about the source and nature of truth are affecting Christians’ lives and ministry. In this course, learners examine current trends in contemporary theology, and how these trends arose. The course focuses on the theologies that were prevalent in the 1960’s, including Theology of Hope, Liberation Theology, Feminist Theology, Process Theology, New Age Theology, and four forms of Post-modern Theology. Students are encouraged to draw from the course content so as to relate and communicate better to their post-modern world.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Explain the major trends in contemporary, non-evangelical thought of the late twentieth century.
- Understand the presuppositions (philosophical and otherwise) that generate such modern theologies.
- Defend evangelical theologies in the process of understanding these contemporary theologies.
