In Transdisciplinary Theological
Studies 2001
Drew University • Mead Hall
Sunday, September 30 • 10AM-6:30PM
Monday, October 1 • 9AM-4PM
T he first Annual Drew Colloquium will explore the disciplinary intersections that create theology, by engaging fragments and interstices of the theology of creation. "Creation"- whether from nothing or chaos; past present or future - iterates through religious and secular constructions of the world. Biblical, doctrinal and historical effects of the trope of creation will serve as an initiating device for considering transdisciplinary itself. Varieties of "the creation" permeate contemporary culture, reproducing theological assumptions about orgin, materiality, power, word, ecology, sex, gender, body, multiplication, division, labor, survival, cosmology, and new creation. Such themes demand twenty-first century deconstrunction and reconstruction. They provoke creativity of multiple hermeneutical practices.
