Introduction to Christian Theology (TH 201)

Any theology is a storytelling art. Religions known and less-well-known describe the world in ways that shape the thoughts and actions of individual human beings. Christianity, too, has its distinctive set of practices and expressions of belief derived from the stories of people who experienced a single event in the world's history: the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth, called "Christ," or "anointed one." The story now distinctive of Christian communities of all kinds is that Jesus Christ is the revelation of God's love in history, that the revelation of this love effects a decisive repair of the relationship between God and human beings, and that the aim of this love and repair is the health of human souls, bodies, and the world that human beings inhabit. What is God? What is revelation? What is love? What is repair? What is health? All these ideas have been answered in many ways, and each answer encodes its own story about how the world works. This course introduces you to the origins and developments of these stories as they are expressed in the tradition that has become known as Christianity.
