Doing Theology in Public (CT9321P)

This unit will be co-taught by John Flett and Robyn Whitaker, along with several guest lecturers who represent “public theologians”. Classes will meet semi-intensively from 9:30am to 4.30pm over six Fridays. There will be a mix of lectures, tutorials based on the readings, and practical skill building (such as workshopping an article for a newspaper with a journalist or learning how to make a podcast or do a radio interview). Students must be able to attend all 6 intensives days in person at Pilgrim. Students should have some prior units in theology, at minimum introductory units in systematic theology, missiology, and/or biblical studies, or permission of the lecturers to enrol.
