What is the relationship between faith and politics in a modern democracy? How do we make sense of political polarization in American politics, and how should we faithfully respond? Over four sessions, this class presents and analyzes these questions through historical and theological focal points.
It begins with an analysis of the thought and historical context of Karl Barth, one of the most important and most often misunderstood 20th-century theologians. Barth developed his theology in response to a political climate unfamiliar today, with increasingly violent polarization and growing support for ethnonationalism – political movements predicated upon an ethnically determined “us” versus an enemy “them.” Engaging in several topics, we will discuss the philosophical foundations of democracy, state sovereignty, individual freedom, Marxism, and recurrences of antisemitism—all in support of forming theologically determined ethical responses to our contemporary political moment.
