Introduction to  
Pagan Theology
Instructor: Christine Hoff Kraemer, Ph.D.
Theology-the study of Deity-calls us to make connections between reason and experience, between history and contemporary life, between our own traditions and practices and those of others.

It is something we *do*-a practice by which we grow in deep understanding of our relationships with the divine and others, not a matter of mere theory. In this class, we will explore and refine our personal theologies through encounters with significant voices in Paganism, the Western occult tradition, and earth-centered and feminist Christianity/post-Christianity, as well as develop expertise with theological terminology. Students will leave prepared to engage in informed and intelligent theological discussions with clergy from other religious traditions.  Fulfills one of the three core course requirements for all Masters degree students. This class must be completed within the first 24 credit hours of instruction.
