The Sex Abuse Crisis in Modern Christianity

Undergraduate

seeks to address the various dimensions of the sex abuse crisis in modern Christianity, including historical, ecclesiological, theological, and legal dimensions as they relate to the broader secular culture. It will consider both Catholic and (to a lesser extent) Protestant manifestations of the crisis. While some attention will be given to the global reality of the crisis, much of the focus will be on the North American context, with a section highlighting the history of the crisis in Newfoundland and Labrador.
