The central question that will be explored in the module is - how should we engage with the understandings of other faith traditions in a way that moves beyond simplistic theological refutation whilst maintaining Christian integrity?
This
will involve: a nuanced understanding of contexts incorporating both place and
consciousness a study of texts from major theologians of religion and dialogue,
comparative theology and with official documents from Church traditions an investigation
of the implications of Christian theological exploration in a consciously
religiously plural world an encounter with another faith tradition upon which
students will reflect theologically.
We will be taking an intersectional approach, exploring: Decolonisation, Feminisms, Mission and Public Theology.
