Description
This course explores questions of soteriology—the meaning and mystery of God’s saving work in Jesus Christ. Students interpret soteriological language and imagery found in Scripture, popular culture, and liturgical materials, and engage classic and contemporary theologies of salvation critically and constructively. Students come away able to do theology as a communal practice, to articulate what is at stake theologically and pastorally in diverse accounts of salvation, and to communicate the soteriological significance of Jesus Christ in theologically-grounded, contextually appropriate, and pastorally sensitive ways.
