TED4400EN - Cultural Theology of Education

Course description

Cultural Theology of Education explores how Christians teach and learn within, against, and for human cultures in light of Christ’s lordship over all things (Col 1:15–20). Drawing from the exile motif (Jer 29; Dan 1), Christ as the light to the Gentiles, and the New Testament’s engagement with Greco-Roman culture, students analyze culture-making as image-bearing activity marred by idolatry yet redeemable through Christ. The course equips educators to foster critical cultural discernment, cultivate redemptive cultural expression in the arts and media, and form students who love their neighbors through culturally attentive pedagogy.
