Description
In this exam I will explore evil that is located within male dominated images of the Imago Dei (Image of God) and its relation to African American women’s experiences of intimate violence . Here, I begin with an overview of how the early privileging of maleness in the works of Tertullian and Pauline texts, lead to a collective understanding of the Imago Dei that produced the historical subjugation of women in the Christian Church.
The purpose of this examination area is to appreciate the historical situatedness of Christian ethics and the ethical analysis. Work will examine historical materials from two ore more distinct periods. Proposals should not attempt inclusive coverage of Christian history. Candidate will choose one of two foci:
*History of Christian Communities: The emphasis here is on diverse understandings of a particular moral theme, concept, or practice within and across past Christian communities. This option is most readily appropriate for topics in theological ethics; however, a social ethics topic may also be explored within this rubric.
