Latino Theology and Christian Tradition

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course contributes to Notre Dame's core curriculum through its examination of theology as reflection on faith within the context of a living Christian Tradition. The course explores how theology - classically understood as "faith seeking understanding" - addresses questions Latinx Christians probe as they seek to live Christian faith in engagement with the world. More specifically, the course investigates three core topics: (a) the history of Latinx Christians as the context for their theological reflection; (b) an assessment of the theological significance of Jesus's Galilean origins; and (c) Latinx devotion and religious traditions as expressions of their lived faith and as resources for theology.
