THEO 5473 - Cultural Understanding and Theological Engagement

3 credits

[Meets the Core Curriculum Writing Practice Requirement] The purpose of this course is to assist the student to better understand the cultural environment in which they live and to learn beneficial tools of theological engagement to best communicate the life and truth of the Christian message. It has always been important for Christians to understand the intellectual and cultural environment in which they live in order to articulate the gospel message in faithful and creative ways. This is especially true in the post-Christian, increasingly secularized, Western societies of today. A proper approach to culture is necessary for transformation within the Church and vigorous witness to the world.
