This course introduces students to Western reflections on God by attending to the nature of theology and to the origin, development, and enactment of both basic and contested theological claims. As such, it aims to develop a student’s capacities for theological inquiry and judgment. Representative texts are drawn from across the various Jewish, Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant theological traditions of the last three millennia, with the claims of scripture playing a foundational role.
