THEO-133 Womanist Spirituality
Spring only
Womanist Theology is a liberation theology developed by African American Christian women in the late 1980’s. Seeking to speak of their own experiences of God while grappling with race, class and gender discrimination within US society and the Christian churches, it emerged from a critique of both Black Liberation Theology and Feminist Theology. Today, Womanist Theology explores the significance of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Christian churches and the Black community in the US as well as Black women’s literature and history in order to uncover the causes of discrimination, eradicate them, and rebuild the beloved community of God.
