Course Syllabus

Notes from Instructor: December 21, 2015

This syllabus is still under construction. I am still posting the course content. I will complete this by the end of December. However, the required texts are listed below, and the reading/viewing materials for Weeks 1-4, as well as the earliest of the assignments have been posted. I will also be adding some instructional videos to orient you to the course and course materials. So you have a sense of the trajectory of the course, the basic outline as it stands on this home page is accurate.

PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO TO ORIENT YOU TO THE NATURE OF THE COURSE AND PRACTICAL MATTERS THAT COME UP EARLY IN THE COURSE (12:21).

Course Description:

Participants in this course explore the meaning and practice of a prophetic, Christian spiritual commitment. Students will seek answers to questions, such as: Who and what are prophets as seen through biblical and modern Christian lenses? What are the implications of holding and practicing a critical, prophetic, Christian spiritual perspective in our current historical context? From a Christian perspective, what constitutes a spirituality that sustains a prophetic life in pursuit of justice and peace?
