THRS1115 - 01 - Jesus & Christian Ethics
Description
(RICT) RI Christian Tradition (RCT) RT Christian Tradition
Christian ethics can only be "Christian" in reference to Jesus Christ, who, according to Christian faith, continues to call people to become his disciples. On the basis of the study of the Synoptic Gospels (supplemented with passages from the letters of St. Paul), the course compares the kind of ethics that the NT proposed to the first Christians, and the kind of of ethics that it proposes to Christians today. The course will also introduce the students to diverse ethical models and systems espoused by Christian authors today, with special emphasis on virtue.
