DURM 8200 Race and Ethnicity in the American Urban Context
The landscape of American society and American cities is rapidly changing. With the changing face of American cities, there is an increased need for awareness and sensitivity towards the issue of race and racial reconciliation within church and community leadership. This course explores the history and current reality of the American church through the lenses of race, ethnicity, and culture, paying particular attention to the obstacles and gaps present in much of the evangelical landscape. It will examine the role of the theological imagination in the formation of the race question and explore the necessity of a renewed theological imagination to bring reconciliation and justice into the urban context.
