James Baldwin's biblical canon in Go Tell It on the Mountain and The Fire Next Time will be explored to identify his use of OT/NT texts to carve out a unique expression of social justice. Baldwin's texts, including texts to be selected by students, will help each participant to develop their own Baldwinian applied justice portfolio. Class will meet 5 times 5-7pm PST; January 9, 10, 12, 17, 19.  Enrolled students can take the course for 1.5 or 3.0 units. Auditors welcome.
