THEO 354 Theology and Gender

A historical and contemporary introduction to the theological reflection on the meaning and significance of gender for Christian life and for the articulation of Christian doctrinal convictions. In particular, this course will explore the ways recent theologians have incorporated insights related to gender studies from a variety of academic disciplines. Special attention will be paid to the work of women theologians in both North American and two-thirds world contexts and the impact of social location on theological perspectives.
