BIB 374 Global Theology

Global Theology introduces students to major Christian doctrines and themes from perspectives in the non-Western, majority world. Special attention will be devoted to how we can deepen our knowledge of different doctrines by learning from believers in other parts of the world. This course will broaden students’ understanding of what God is doing in the world and how our own Christian tradition can be enriched by other perspectives. But students will also be equipped to think critically about global theology and to grow in wise discernment when encountering the many varieties of Christian theology in the world today. The Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms serve as guidelines and resources. Prerequisite(s): BIB 277, BIB 278. 3 hour(s).
