Liberation Theology refers to several related theologies that emerged in Latin America. Many more have been developed but all share the same basic methodology, focus their efforts on issues of social justice, and proceed with a prophetic voice. The course introduces the method of liberation theology and surveys a selection of primary texts from a variety of social contexts.
Outcomes: Students will critically and constructively assess the contributions of Liberation Theology in the broader theological conversation; develop the skills necessary to assess and respond theologically to their own social contexts.
