The Pastoral Theology course is designed as an introductory course which covers three majors areas: pastoral theology, pastoral formation, and pastoral issues, which can be engaged no matter what your level of pastoral experience may be or what context you are working or may be called.
Why were some Christians in the early church persecuted and killed? Why were some Christians willing to die for God? How did the remembrance of martyrdom and the transmission of the stories of the martyrs shape the Christian imagination? This course will look at narratives regarding anger and rage that Christians had to face as recorded in the new testament and early Christian literature; analyze and discuss various "acts" of Christian martyrs; and explore the legacy of martyrdom and memory in relation to events that occur in various parts of the world today and in the recent past, where Christians are killed for being witnesses and testifying to their faith.
