Evangelical Theology as a recognized movement arising within the English-speaking world and expanding throughout the globe has its own particular history and ideational nuances. This course seeks to survey Evangelicalism’s historical roots and development as well as its general but also diverse trajectories of thought, all the while also critically and constructively engaging both towards renewal and reappropriation of the tradition for the 21st century (and beyond). Course delivery will be through in-person lectures and discussions that are synchronously live-streamed.
