Description
This course engages theological reflection by attending to the ways in which pastoral ministry "talks back" to theology and helps us rethink our faith by posing questions of human existence related to such issues as the nature and meaning of life and death, illness, grief, love, community, reconciliation, healing, social justice, gender and cultural difference. The course employs various theological approaches, such as a Barthian "theology of the Word," a liberal "process" theology and a politically oriented theology of "liberation." The course explores the implications of each type of theology for pastoral care and relates each to case material. Pre-requisites: THS 110 and PTH 141.
