THEO 237 - Latin@ Theology Credit Hours 3
Christianity around the world is about 50% Spanish speaking. The U.S. Catholic Church is nearly 40% Latin@. Catholic Christianity in Chicago is over 50% Latin@. This course critically engages the theological imagination that stems from the heart of a people. The course examines the diverse origins, methods, contexts, major theological themes, and texts of U.S. Latin@ theologies. With an understanding that these experiences vary greatly between and within communities of faith, special emphasis is placed on the Catholic tradition. Particular attention is given to the unique contributions of Latin@ theology such as Mestizaje, Teología en Conjunto, Fiesta, Accompaniment, and lo cotidiano. Speaking Spanish is not a requirement to take this course.
This course will satisfy the core area requirement in theology.
