Description

The center of theological production has shifted from the Northern and Western hemisphere to the Global south, Africa, Asia and Latin America. What are the contours of this shift? On the one hand the rise of Pentecostalism in the Global South has given rise to a reactionary Roman Catholic theology determined to stem the hemorrhage of Roman Catholics to Pentecostal churches in the context of globalization. On the other, critical theologies of liberation in the North and South reveal the collusion of economic, militaristic and cultural neo-colonialism. Readings will explore Pentecostal, Roman Catholic and liberation theological proposals for Theological Anthropology, Christology, Ecclesiology and Mission with a view to articulating a decolonized global Christian theology. Note: Course has additional hour to be arranged.
