The Bible in Black Political Theology

3 credits · Divinity School

The seminar locates Christian political theology in a tradition that extends from Augustine’s City of God and examines the biblical interpretations in selected works of James Cone, JoAnne Marie Terrell, Kelly Brown Douglas, M. Shawn Copeland, and Albert B. Cleage, Jr. The course turns to the geography of the New Culture Wars and takes up topics of Christology and Atonement, Freedom and Responsibility, and Globalism and Nationalism. [3] Mr. Marbury
