Introduction to Latin American Theology

1 credits · Divinity School

This course examines a theology that takes as its starting point the everyday, communal, and liberating experience of faith of the diverse peoples of Latin America. We will explore the contributions made by Latin American Christian theologians (mainline Protestant, Catholic, Pentecostal) to all the major theological loci (God, Christology, Ecclesiology, etc.) and also the dialogues with feminism, North American public theology, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Brazilian thought, and indigenous and other non-Christian perspectives.
