Theology (Core)

An introductory course in fundamental Catholic theology, presenting the basic openness of the human person to divine revelation, the historical veracity of that revelation, and selected major theological themes in the Catholic worldview, with an eye to their coherence with one another and with the human person.

An introductory course in Christian Scripture and theology presenting a thorough and coherent outline of Salvation History from the creation narrative through the coming of Christ and the birth and development of the Church. Students will also be exposed to the basic Trinitarian and Christological dogmas which are derived from Scripture.

A synthesis of readings and themes introduced in prior core instruction, this course draws together fundamental questions considered throughout the curriculum dealing with such topics as revelation, history, transcendence, suffering, death, and salvation. This course orients life in the context of a Christian sacramental vision to the final end of the human person: the contemplation of the vision of God.
