Document Summary
Go back to the course syllabus; use that to study for final. According to the course description, it claims that the theology core introduces to your intellectual thinking challenges to dualistic thinking. Issues of god and gender (male/ female images) Fundamentalist vs. liberal interpretation of the bible and religion. Faith vs. reason: all of the other subjects fall under this category. *dualism: things that seem to be polar opposites by nature. The course is supposed to challenge the way that you think. You should find it harder to think in terms of either or and things should not seem black and white anymore. Identifying our own biases: means that we recognize the limitations of our own knowledge. Understanding structures of sin (we are all sinners, not because we have done anything particularly bad ourselves, but because they are sometimes moral and ethical decisions that we cannot escape from)
