Think about a range of these issues, consider theological resources and perspectives on those issues
But how do I do critical theological reflection?
pick one of the following, discuss with your neighbour - what are theological resources and perspectives for this issue?
- genetic embryo screening
- animal testing
- pornography
- polygamy
- dating reality shows
- gun control
- drug legalization
- censorship
- abortion
In my view good critical theological reflection will do one or more of the following
- compare differences and symmetries between theological and secular philosophical reflection (virtue, deontological, egoist, utilitarian, etc.
- reflect "from within" a tradition on that issue using resources like scripture, theological reflection (relationship between creatures and creator within Abrahamic traditions)
