MATERIAL RELIGION
Building off last year's study of Entanglement theory, the Spring 2016 History of Religion
Seminar will study the role of material agency in religion. Working from Entanglement, non-anthropocentric, and post-colonial perspectives, the seminar will explore the material cultures and environments of religious experience, taking a broadly "ecological" approach. Over the course of the semester, through weekly readings, on-line discussions, and interactive tasks, and through periodic live web conferences, the seminar will also study selectively the material cultures of pre-history; non-western religions; the bible; Christianity in late antiquity, early modern Europe; and the African diaspora; theology; pastoral care; and
spirituality today. The seminar may be used to fulfill the Capstone requirement in the SFTS MDiv curriculum. The seminar includes the mandatory two-day Muilenburg-Koenig History of Religion Workshop on "Material Christianity" at SFTS on 15-16 April 2016. Students in the seminar take an active role leading the workshop, which also includes distinguished art historians, historians, and theologians doing cutting edge work on these things right now. On-line students are expected to come to San Anselmo to participate in this workshop.[Faculty Consent required; 10 max enrollment]
