The vast majority of the Christian intellectual tradition used the Western, male perspective to converse about what it means to be human. However, since women comprise half of the global population, this course will seek to draw students into a dialogue with important female voices throughout history to promote engagement with the ¿big ideas¿ of Christian theology. We will self-consciously forefront questions of race, gender, eco-feminism, religious pluralism, and cultural norms about bodies to work toward a more inclusive and just version of the theological project. The course is discussion-based. Student work will be assessed through class participation, quizzes, writing assignments, and midterm/final exam.
