To explore what it means to 'be in Christ' with particular reference to the question of the Imago Dei. Students will read from a wide variety of sources and explore different understandings of the Imago Dei from Western and Eastern Orthodox theologians. We will look at how these varied perspectives on the Imago Dei have informed classical theological categories including Trinitarian theology, Christology, Pneumatology, Theological Anthropology, Ecclesiology and Soteriology. These theological understandings will then be applied to appraise concepts of sanctification, a variety of ecclesial models and other issues of praxis.

The immense suffering of the modern world has had a profound impact on one's understanding of God and his relationship to human suffering. The growing consensus that God himself suffers in solidarity and love with the wounded ones needs re-examination. This course addresses the question of impassibility-passibility from the biblical, historical, theological and pastoral perspectives. Basic to the course are these questions: (a) Is a God who is impassible more loving and compassionate than a suffering God? (b) How do Christology, soteriology and Trinity interact in one's formulation of a doctrine of God? (c) How does one counsel those who suffer, if God is an unmoved mover or the apathetic deity?
