THRS1103 - 01 - Exploring Catholic Theology

(RICT) RI Christian Tradition (RCT) RT Christian Tradition

This course explores the central aspects of Catholic theology today. Catholic theology is the result of the Church's reflection upon its own experience of faith, which is shaped by the historical and cultural contexts in which it takes place. In this academic approach to theology, students will explore critically Catholic understandings of God, of Jesus Christ, of the Church, sacraments, biblical interpretation, tradition and morality, among other themes. Special emphasis will be placed on the transformation of Catholic practice and theology after the Second Vatican Council.
