TH 266 Ecological Theologies
This course addresses a pressing concern of our
time, ecological degradation from a theological
perspective, which prepares students for a life of
thinking critically about real-world problems from
the perspective of a faith-commitment. Ecological
theology is a major topic of concern (and growing)
within academic theology, so this course
introduces students to one of the vibrant
conversations of the living tradition of Christian
theology. No other course within the Theology
department's offerings covers this specific focus,
so this course adds range and diversity to the
department's offerings. Finally, this course
dovetails very well with several other academic
programs at Carroll, especially Environmental
Science and Anthrozoology, by asking students to
think critically about the ways in which Christian
faith shapes human relationships with nonhuman
creatures.
