Working Theologies serves as an introduction to
Bard's Theology Program, which, since its inception, has been structured as a
cross-divisional, interdisciplinary field of study. This approach is based on the growing recognition that
"theology," the search for ultimacy -- truth, value, and meaning -- takes
many forms. The sciences, the
humanities and the arts represent various expressions of this search. Theology is the project of working to
identify and examine this search in an integration of its intellectual and
expressive forms. Thomas Berry, for
example, a pioneer of eco-theology, advocated a reworking of theology that
would dramatically highlight themes -- the evolutionary interconnectedness and
continuing, dynamic interdependence of all matter and life forms -- by drawing
from contemporary work in physics, cosmology and biology. Berry also drew from his extensive knowledge
of the cultural history of religious traditions, East and West, for clues about
how to approach this project in the contemporary world. Working Theologies will explore the utility
of an eco-theological framework for the examination of the search for ultimacy
found in modern and contemporary works in the visual arts, music, creative
writing, and the sciences. The course
will include guest lectures by faculty from various programs.
