Preaching Jesus: Postcolonial Approaches

3 credits · Divinity School

This course focuses on the question: What would it be like preaching Jesus from a postcolonial perspective? Students are invited to engage in conversation around this question and practice preaching in class by exploring the theological and ethical issues emerging from the Christological themes. Through this course, students study not only decolonizing the pulpit but also refurbishing the pulpit with postcolonial images, metaphors, and stories of the "hybrid Jesus." [3]
