TRS 138 - Latinx Religious Experience and Theology Upper division.
Concurrently N/A
Prerequisites TRS 097 OR TRS 189
This course will engage the Latin@ religious experience, not merely exploring the historical development of Latin@ experience and theology, but pushing deeper to understand how and why Latin@ theologians interpret religious experience in this manner. We will strive to become well-enough versed in the sources, methods, and themes of Latin@ religious experience and theology that we can think in these ways ourselves, perhaps transforming our own perspective on religion and ethics. We will also consider criticism of Latin@ theology and seek to evaluate to what degree these criticisms are valid and how they might affect the status of the fundamental principles of Latin@ theology. In the process, we will consider how the arts, social sciences, and natural sciences illuminate dimensions of this multicultural tradition as well as seek to understand the relation of Latin@ theology to other currents of thought, such as critiques of colonialism and Euro-centrism.
Core Curriculum Designation(s) TE - Theological Explorations; AD - American Diversity
