The purpose of this module is to critically explore the constructive relationship between theological reflection and articulation on the one hand, and the socio-cultural contexts in which such reflection and articulation take place on the other. The fundamental questions guiding this exploration are: (1) what is the relationship between a theology and its context; (2) in what ways are theology and context mutually influenced and determined; and (3) what is the role of the local church?
