TH866/ST525: PNEUMATOLOGY: CONTEMPORARY TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS (4/6 Units: 190/393 hours). Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen.

---

DESCRIPTION: This doctoral seminar, open to advanced master’s level students, is designed to investigate and discuss critically current pneumatologies, doctrines of the Holy Spirit, with particular focus on new approaches and orientations. The course offers a critical study of the doctrine of the Spirit from some leading theologians—Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant, including evangelicals—as well as pneumatologies of Pentecostal/charismatic movements. Furthermore, Feminist, Liberationist, “Green,” and political views of the Spirit as well as emerging pneumatologies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America will be carefully assessed. The course will also include a comparative theology aspect with an investigation of the Spirit in Islamic traditions.

LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students completing this course will have demonstrated their ability to (1) identify major choices and agendas in various contemporary systematic theologies of the Holy Spirit; (2) analyze critically and assess their contributions and liabilities; (3) offer a reasoned response to various proposals in light of tradition and current intellectual milieu; and (4) begin to formulate their own approach to doing systematic/constructive pneumatology.

RELATIONSHIP TO PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES: “Students will have demonstrated capacities for historically informed theological and ethical reflection with a particular attention to the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, pneumatology, in its historical, contemporary, and interfaith aspects.”

COURSE FORMAT: This class meets once per week for three-hour sessions for a total of 30 hours of classroom instruction for student presentations and critical discussion.
