DR501Q: GREAT THINKERS IN THEOLOGICAL ETHICS (2017-2018)

Last modified: 26 Feb 2018 14:35


Course Overview

Can properly theological ways of thinking and acting allow us to attend and respond to concrete challenges and problems confronting the world today? Or does theology continually (and inherently) tempt us to look above and beyond reality and its claims?  This course is organised around a series of engagements with prominent modern theologians and their texts. In particular, we will engage this material with a particular view to questions of concreteness, embodiment, and identity.
