The Church in Society

3 credits · Divinity School

This course explores the Church’s identity by examining her engagement in the world through worship and witness. Students will be invited to consider central questions in the study of ecclesiology by surveying a variety of approaches in the theological disciplines, especially practical theology, political and liberation theologies, and liturgical studies. While the course compels serious consideration of various Christian denominational and confessional perspectives, students will be encouraged to articulate how these frameworks inform their consideration of the contemporary situation in which the Church is called to minister.
