Modern Reformed Theology: Where did the Spirit go?

Description:This course is designed to acquaint students with evolving theological expression of the Reformed Tradition in its 19th and 20th Century embodiments as it responds and interacts with the rise of modernity and late/post-modernity. Particular attention will be paid to person and work of the Holy Spirit in these developments.
Through the examination of theological expressions of central doctrinal loci (revelation, God, the person and work of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, eschatology, etc.), students will become familiar with (1) some theological threads and tensions within the Reformed tradition, (2) recognize and appreciate constructive resources and limitations of the Reformed tradition (3) gain some understanding of the roots of current theological discussion and conflict within the tradition and (4) observe the Holy Spirit the agent of the Reform of the Church at work.
Attention to the authority of scripture, the nature of ‘critical’ scripture interpretation, the role of experience in theological reflection, the relationship between faith and culture and faith and science, Christianity among the religions, social justice and care for creation as directed by the Spirit will be given in the readings, lectures and class discussion.
