2 Learning Goals Upon completion of this class, students should be able to 1. Articulate the challenges and developments of 20 th century theology. 2. Demonstrate basic knowledge of key figures in 20 th century Protestant theology. 3. Identify various approaches and methods in 20 th century theology. 4. Note salient features of liberal, neo-orthodox, political/liberation, feminist/womanist/mujerista, postliberal, postmodern, and theologies of religions. 5. Appreciate the importance of context for theological reflection. 6. Explore in greater analytic detail aspects of one or more authors/movements in 20 th century theology. 7. Exhibit the capacity to participate as a citizen in a theological community: -displaying empathetic and critical thinking in reading, speaking, and writing -demonstrating initiative in research and critical appraisal of sources used -communicating responsibly, carefully, and clearly -framing and developing theological arguments supported with evidence -showing an awareness of oneself as an interpreter -exhibiting tolerance for ambiguity while remaining genuinely committed Class-Time Format The basic arrangement of time in class will be that of lecture-presentation-discussion. Mainly, the course will operate in a seminar format, oriented toward discussing texts and themes in an interactive and open environment. Lectures will be offered occasionally to introduce, help clarify, and expand the context and substance of topics/materials. Class presentations from students will provide a way to introduce the readings and ask key questions to generate discussion (see Course Requirements, below, for more information). Course Requirements and Assignments 1. Class Attendance and Participation % 2. Class Presentation % 3. Book Analysis.. 20% 4. Research Paper % 1. Regular attendance and informed participation in class is an important part of the learning experience. More than three absences may result in loss of course credit. Because discussion is a key part of the class, nurturing an engagement with course materials, your questions and comments are valued and will be a factor in the overall grade. Readings for each class will be discussed on the basis of student questions and classroom interaction in response to presentations and/or lectures. To this end, it is expected that you will have done the readings, critically reflected upon them, and be prepared to contribute substantively. Careful reading is fundamental to informed participation, so journaling or note taking while reading is encouraged. 2

3 2. Class Presentation. At each class session, one or two students, by pre-arrangement with the instructor, will initiate discussion by referring to salient points in the week s reading assignments, mainly from the primary sources, then raising two or three questions to generate conversation over important issues/themes. BD students should address the class for approximately 8-10 minutes (or 15 minutes, total, if two students present). AD students should prepare a more substantive presentation guiding the class through key elements in the readings for approximately minutes. 3. Book Analysis (5 pages for BD students, and 8 pages for AD students). This assignment, due no later than October 19 th, asks students to select a text (book or several key articles or essays in a book) from an important 20 th century theologian NOT covered in our readings and analyze its salient argument(s) or theme(s), identifying and assessing the context for text s relevance and intelligibility. The text must be approved by the instructor. Please consult the bibliography for options, though other texts may be selected. 4. Final Research Paper (10-12 pages for BD students, and pages for AD students). This paper, due no later than December 14 th, should focus on a figure(s), topic or movement germane to the course and investigate, analyze, and appraise its implications for theology in the 20 th century. The assignment is both integrative and research oriented; it offers the flexibility to research a topic or issue of interest to the student, while also requiring the student to assess the relevance of the research to some of the materials read/discussed during the semester, drawing their own conclusions in the process. Paper assignments should be clearly organized, well-documented, critical in scope, substantive in analysis and in assessing materials, careful in formulating evaluative claims, and prudent in applications. Excellent papers will not simply state but show their case, based upon an informed consideration of what is at stake. Excellent papers will demonstrate creative insight and provide reasons for claims, backing up these reasons with solid evidence while also noting the ranges of uncertainty and/or ambiguity in referencing evidence. Papers should observe Emmanuel College academic regulations and policies, and note the Other Qualities Expected of Students in The T.S.T. Grading Scale Used at Emmanuel College for criteria for evaluation of assignments (found in edition of Handbook of Information for Basic Degree Students).
