Introduction to Anglican Theology: Ways of Reading the Bible in the English Church and Anglican Communion

This course will serve to introduce students to a diverse range of Anglican authors from the English Reformation to the present employing the elements of the Lambeth Quadrilateral as a lens to focus our study and discussion of key themes in the tradition of Anglican theology: the place of Scripture, Creeds, baptism and Eucharist, and the historic episcopate in the one Church of Jesus Christ. Students will read carefully the assigned readings and come to class prepared to discuss them. Evaluation will be based on attendance and active participation in class; two exercises in fundamental catechesis; and a 12-15 page paer on some aspect of the key themes of the course.
