Description

While faith in Jesus Christ has never come easily, there are certain features of modern-and now purportedly "postmodern"-societies which make Christian faith and discipleship particularly perplexing. These features are commonly discussed under the heading of "secularization," a term which points to the fact that traditional Christian understanding and institutions have grown progressively less influential within contemporary society and culture. By drawing on the insights of a number of prominent social thinkers, this course aims to provide students with a theoretical and practical understanding of the processes of modernization and secularization, their impact upon Christian theology and their impact upon (post)modern discipleship.
