RLSC 738 - Shame and Grace: Landscape of Healing and Reconciliation in the 21st Century

3 credits
This course explores biblical experiences of shame, examines various psychological theories on shame, and works toward constructing a shame-based theology of reconciliation to address the ineffectiveness of the current theology of atonement that are predominantly guilt-oriented. The examination of psychological theories on shame informs the need for a more holistic approach to theology of grace that can complement the weakness of the guilt-based theology of atonement to attend to pervasively shame-based culture in the 21st Century. Same as PSTH 641 .
