THEOLOGY, JUSTICE, AND SOCIAL ADVOCACY The well-being of diverse, rapidly changing communities requires the voices and skills of everyone and an understanding of biblical justice and the mission of God. In the Master of Arts in Theology, Justice, and Social Advocacy Program, students will learn how to amplify their voices in public dialogue across a variety of boundaries and contribute their inter-cultural skills to improve contexts such as neighborhoods, communities, systems, and structures. Students will evaluate and engage current and emerging social issues with integrity through biblical studies, theological reflection, ethics, organizational leadership, and practical experience while developing authentic relationships with practitioners and leaders across various disciplines and occupations. TJA 501 Redemption and Justice in the Old and New Testament The biblical narrative offers beautiful and foundational perspectives on why and how the people of God should engage with the culture around them and work for justice, yet many Christians do not have a formed biblical and theological understanding about such an important aspect of their faith and ministry. In this course, students will study all types of biblical literature and how concepts such as justice, shalom, the kingdom of God, love, and human flourishing shape a Christian view of interacting with culture. Additionally, students will interact with a variety of scholars on the philosophical and ethical dimensions of justice, duties, and rights. Two or three hours.
