DESCRIPTION:

This course is designed to deepen the knowledge of theological students in the reading of intermediate and advanced texts. Ideally, one or several key German theologians would be studied, and their scholarship in the form of journal articles and/or books would be carefully keyed to each student's research interests or to recommendations of their major professors.
