The course Poverty and Hope in Theological Perspective will allow students to work with the terms poverty and hope as theological concepts. Using important texts from the Christian tradition, we will explore ways to overcome poverty through the fostering of justice and solidarity. In a significant way, the course will draw on the ministry of Pope Francis. We will also study the view of poverty and its overcoming from the perspective of other disciplines and spiritual movements with which Christianity is in conversation.
The aim of the course is to develop a perspective on poverty that leads to creative practice aimed at eliminating poverty and developing human belonging and social justice. To do this, the reflection on hope provides a theological horizon that brings a motivational and programmatic perspective to the study of poverty.
