Synopsis

Where is theology being done, and how do these locations affect theology itself? The 71st Annual Volume of the College Theology Society aims to attend to how Christians' professional, linguistic, racial, geographic, political, gendered, sexual, and ecological locus informs their faith and their ways of seeking understanding. Colleges and universities that previously required students to study theology or religious studies are ending these requirements. Colleges and universities are shuttering theological degree programs, closing theology departments, and terminating theologians. What additional changes might follow from these changes, and how might this shift affect theology? At the same time, the loss of academic positions for theologians might liberate theological vocations to locate previously overlooked contexts. What forgotten loci for theological vocations might now be found? Might the fading of academic theology make room for theological, pastoral, ecclesiological or missiological renewal?
