Introduces students to some of the myriad of ways in which gender may impact Christian ministry: from one’s self-identity as male or female, to constructing theological categories, to methods of biblical interpretation, to clarifying pastoral care issues, to greater sensitization towards the joys and challenges of working together in a “sexualized society”. Along the way students will learn not only from biblical studies and theology, but also from the fields of sociology, biology, psychotherapy, anthropology, history, and psychology. Same as LEAD 0643.
