Introduction to World Christianity
This course will offer an introduction to the academic study of World Christianity. The latter term has recently been used to account for the diversity and multiplicity of Christianity across time and space. In addition, this notion places Christianity alongside other world religions. This reflects a 20th-century “global shift” in Christianity from a largely North Atlantic religion to one that is found all around the world. In short, World Christianity is a concept that seeks to describe the global nature of the Christian religion. The course will explore topics such as contextual theologizing, inculturation, independence and ecumenism, diaspora, decolonization, and mission. It will aim at providing a basic orientation and insight into this diverse phenomenon. Poslední úprava: Bargár Pavol, doc. Mgr., Ph.D. (29.11.2022)
