| Brief Description | The module looks at christological and soteriological models across the tradition to the present time. As such, the module is focused on two distinct though related areas of doctrine (teaching): the ‘person’ and the ‘work’ of Christ, viz., Christology and Soteriology (or Atonement). |
| Indicative Syllabus | - The module is in two parts. The first will concentrate on christologies: from the cosmological, political and anthropological to the modern and postmodern constructs found in, for example, the early tradition, in Schleiermacher and in Barth’s response; in Moltmann and other contemporary political restatements shaped by liberationist perspectives and issues of gender and sexuality. The second part will concentrate on atonement: how is this to be understood? The module will look at key theory: the language and logic of atonement. This includes modes of mediation, traditional metaphors and their contemporary restatements. Issues of theological method will be a sub-theme throughout. |
| Learning Outcomes | A student passing this module should be able to:
1 Demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of key aspects of systematic theology, including detailed knowledge of seminal theory from early tradition to contemporary restatements. 2 Show a developed understanding of both the inter-relatedness of all theological doctrine and also the relationship between theological construals and the prevailing cultural backgrounds. 3 Work with abstract ideas and detailed concepts in a way that enables cogent, sustained argument. 4 Demonstrate a critical awareness that the complex abstract ideas in the module content, e.g., christologies, atonement metaphors, are historically and culturally shaped theological constructs. 5 Demonstrate skills in critical analysis, reflection, synthesis and evaluation of selected texts and key ideas studied in the module. 6 Show a thorough understanding of issues of method in theology: theology as an ongoing self-critical, reconstructive enterprise. |
