(Shea, 3 Credits) Systematic Theology S 225 S 230 Christian Anthropology This course studies the human search for meaning and its relationship with God’s grace from a personal, historical and theological perspective. It considers the basic ways that people communicate, namely through the myths they live by and the rituals they celebrate. The Catholic perspective roots the underlying premise that God’s Spirit most fully enlightens this meaning search within the context of community. Various modes of meaning, as well as the role of archetype, symbol and story are addressed, as they relate to the sacramentality of the world and the central role of God’s grace in the human quest for fulfillment. (Jack, 3 Credits) Theology of Faith and Revelation An introduction to theological method: the intellectual and scientific methodology of contemporary theological reflection (sources, criteria, presuppositions and the instruments of theological research). Revelation as divine self-communication experienced in faith. The principles that guide our systematic understanding of Christian faith. Prerequisites: S 225 and S 233 S 237 some introduction to scripture. (O'Cinnsealaigh, 4 Credits) Ecclesiology A study of the nature and character of the Church as the universal sacrament of salvation, its essence as communion and the hierarchical society of grace, the holy People of God engaged in a pilgrimage of grace. Following a general survey of ecclesiology and a discussion of models and images of the Church, explicit reference will be given to: the four traditional marks of the Church - One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic; the fundamental mission of the Church as evangelization; and the essential mission of the laity. Also to be addressed is the state of ecumenical dialogue, historical development of the ecumenical dialogue, the Church’s understanding of herself in relation to the Orthodox Churches and other Christian communions, a study of the Church’s documentation on dialogue with a view to the establishment of criteria, principles, and avenues for co-operation and communion between the Church and other ecclesial communities. Prerequisite: S 230. (O'Cinnsealaigh, 4 Credits) Theology and Spirituality of Holy Orders Drawing on the insights of Vatican II, this course will present an ecclesial vision of priestly identity. It will explore the Church's tradition, practice and expectations of ordained ministry, offering a scriptural, systematic and spiritual analysis leading to a contemporary theology and spirituality of presbyteral identity, founded in being and expressed in ministry. Prerequisites: S 230, S 233, S 240, S 241. (O'Cinnsealaigh, 4 Credits) 68
S 240 S 241 S 242 S 243 Theology of the Trinity The Holy Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith. In this course the student will examine the patristic and scriptural background to the mystery up to 381 AD. The student will then examine the question of God and the immanent and economic approaches to the trinitarian mystery. Finally, there will be a treatment of trinitarian spirituality and how it shapes the lives of individual Christian believers. (Jack, 3 Credits) Christology This course will examine the person of Jesus Christ from two perspectives. The first will be a scriptural and patristic background focusing on the conciliar period 431-787 AD. It will describe the saving activity of Jesus Christ (soteriology). The course will also address the nature of the hypostatic union of Jesus Christ, addressing his knowledge and consciousness of himself as the Son of God. There will also be an introduction to Christological spirituality. Prerequisite: S 240. (Jack, 3 Credits) Marian Theology Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, will be studied from the Biblical, historical and magisterial perspectives to show that she is truly the eschatological icon of the church and the fulfillment of Christian life. (Jack, 3 Credits) Eschatology and Celebration of Christian Death All creation moves to fulfillment in Jesus Christ. It is the purpose of this course to study the “Last Things” of the Christian life: death, judgment, heaven, hell, purgatory. Special attention will be given to the S 343 S 347 S 413 meaning of Christian death as expressed in the Rite of Christian Burial and in addressing a theology of bereavement. (Jack, 3 Credits) John Henry Cardinal Newman: Prophetic Figure of Modern Catholicism Newman’s influence on Vatican II was greater than that of any other theologian. This course will examine his impact on ecumenism, the laity, conscience, scripture scholarship, the development of doctrine, the act of faith. Newman’s life and experience will be key in this study. (Ross, 3 Credits) Theology of the Holy Spirit The purpose of this course is to provide the student with a basic introduction to the person of the Holy Spirit. The student will discover that the study of the Holy Spirit leads to a deeper understanding of Jesus Christ and his church. The student will also discover that the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit provide a helpful means to understanding the role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of individual believers. This is an intensive reading class. Papers will be required. (Jack, 3 Credits) Mary in the Patristic Age The person of Mary of Nazareth will be examined in light of the Church's earliest teachings. In this study her connections to Jesus Christ and to the mystery of the Church will be stressed. Also, ancient liturgical hymns such as the "Akathist" and the homilies of the later Fathers (8th century) will highlight the foreshadowing of the dogmas of the Assumption and the Immaculate Conception.
