(RICT) RI Christian Tradition (RCT) RT Christian Tradition (SJ) Social Justice

The American media have an obsession with fundamentalist Christianity, but rarely pay attention to justice-oriented, activist Christianity. This course will attempt to correct that imbalance by studying those Christians who express their faith in the most compassionate, dangerous, unconventional and self-sacrificial ways. In so doing, we will gain knowledge of an important sociological movement, as well as the provocative theology that energizes it.
