SEMINAR DESCRIPTION

An overview of the global expansion of Christianity in the 20^th century and its effects on the life of the church and contemporary theology. Special attention will be given to indigenous Christian movements around the world.

APPROACH

Participants will access and use resources that assist them in studying and reflecting on Global Christianity especially throughout the past 200 years. Extensive reading in the literature will provide an introduction to this study. Attention will be given to interaction between different varieties of Christianity.

The primary project for this course will be for students to draw on materials from their readings, encounters and discussions in shaping an understanding of current developments and academic research .in the field of Global Christianity. Essential Objectives will be

· Gaining factual knowledge(terminology, classifications, methods, trends) and to learn about the history of church and theology in different contexts. The course will introduce students to an overview of Global Christianity, with attention given to histories written from different cultural traditions. We will also focus on key persons, events and movements. There will be presentations by the lecturer, students and other invited speakers. Visits to new immigrant congregations are strongly encouraged. Literature lists as well as handouts summarizing basic information will be provided.

· Learning to analyze and critically evaluate ideas, arguments and points of view. We will discuss primary source material from different cultural contexts. The texts will be introduced by students and discussed. The conversation is to be disciplined and open. Each seminar participant seeks to speak in one’s own voice and listen with an attentiveness and openness to the other in a way that includes a willingness to being changed by what one hears. At the same time, the conversation has purposeful continuity—not simply and casually declaring our views but engaging others in their response to our views. The purpose here is to move the conversation forward, moving from where it has been and toward where it seems to be going, by contributing to the determination of where it goes.

· Developing skills in oral and written communication: Participants will exercise this in class discussions and in their essays. They will learn to asking their own questions and seeking answers. In this process, they are encouraged will help each other to understand ideas and concepts and form teams or discussion groups. The lecturer will analyze your performance and give you a critical feedback.

Course Structure

The seminar will meet weekly to engage in discussion of the assigned reading and projects for that week. Students will be expected to facilitate the discussion around papers and projects that are assigned to them.

Course Requirements

Carefully read and reflect on the major authors of the course
Thoughtfully engage these materials within a theologically reflective conversation

Increase critical capacities in theological hermeneutics of social scientific models of research.

REQUIREMENTS & EVALUATION: Each seminar participant is required to complete the following requirements with the relative values demonstrated (100 points). Multiple responses and journaling will be considered acts of supererogation that will be considered in many ways on the day of reckoning.

1. Seminar Participation (25 points)

2. Presentations (25 points)

3. Essay (50 points)

Seminar Paper

Students will write a seminar research paper on a topic of their choice. They will choose this topic with the approval of the instructor. In the paper they will critically examine a subject, scholarly work, figure, or line of argument of their choice related to the problems and issues related to their work as a doctoral student and teacher of the church. The final draft of the paper is due by 5:00 p.m. in the instructors’ faculty box in Gullixson Hall, on Friday, May 11, 2007 Students will be expected to carefully exposit a major subject, scholarly work, or figure from those surveyed in the course. This exposition should evidence ample attending and listening to the source materials before engaging in overt critique and integration into a line of argument. Papers shall be typed, double-spaced of 20-30 pages in length. Students should provide a rough draft to the instructor before March 30, 2007 and be responsible for setting a time to meet with that instructor or another faculty person agreeable to the instructor to critique the draft.

Failure to turn in the first draft and/or final draft of the seminar paper by the deadlines noted above will result in a penalty of one-half grade, for each deadline missed, on the final grade for the course.
