This course will explore the diverse cultural, political, and religious strands and influences of Christian Liberation Theologies from around the globe beginning with the immense theological contributions of enslaved Africans to religion in the emerging United States of America. The focus will be on liberation theology’s methodologies, their relation to their social contexts, their ongoing challenges to the discipline of Christian moral and ethical theology, and their impact on contemporary issues and other religious traditions.
