A study of the dynamics of human experience and the religious understanding of God as mystery. The course also explores the human experience of grace, love, prayer, sin, and salvation.
This course explores the body of literature known as Catholic Social Teaching—the voice of the Church raised to address social problems in the world. Often described as “the Church’s best kept secret,” Catholic Social Teaching offers insight into the profound revelation of God’s justice demanding the dignity of peace for those who suffer inequalities, and the challenge to address social structures that threaten the dignity of communities. 3 credits 161
This course explores the human values involved in dating, marriage, and family relationships, primarily from a Christian theological perspective. A key question will be the role of the ideal. Christianity, like all religions and ways of life, holds up certain ideals of what dating, marriage, and family should be. What are the sources of those ideals? What happens when actual experiences of dating, marriage, and family diverge from those ideals?
An introduction to the Old Testament as a religious document of ancient Israel. The major themes introduced are revelation, inspiration, interpretation, salvation history, and the importance of contemporary scholarship for understanding the historical, linguistic, cultural, literary, and religious contexts of the various books. 3 credits
A study of the New Testament with special emphasis on the experience of the early Christian communities that produced the epistles and the gospels.
An examination of the historical, developmental, and contemporary theological issues concerning Jesus of Nazareth. 3 credits
This course offers a theological basis for health care and health care ethics. It speaks to theological anthropology and introduces the student to a primarily Christian (Catholic and Protestant) approach to the meaning of human life as that applies specifically to health care. The course will also cover a brief history of the relationship between religion and medicine and makes claims about how theology ought and ought not to be applied to health care ethics. In addition to Christian biomedical ethics the course will also explore both Jewish and Muslim health care ethics.
A course focused on a particular theological topic that varies from semester to semester.
The course will draw on theology, political philosophy, and history to explore religious ideas’ historical and ongoing impact on legal structures. A Christian perspective, including Catholic Social Teaching, will be central to our examination, though other religious perspectives will be addressed briefly. Our theoretical exploration will be combined with discussions of specific contemporary issues (gun rights/control, sexual crimes, incarceration systems, etc.). 3 credits TH 350 (CHM 350) Miracles: Science and God How does God “work” in the world and how is that work perceived in light of the “laws of nature.” Studies in the fields of theoretical physics and quantum mechanics suggest exciting possibilities for a 21s- century theology of divine action. In particular, this course will investigate the relationship between what Thomas Aquinas referred to as “primary cause” (the origin of all things) and “secondary causes” (all the interactions we perceive in the empirical world).
An exploration of the relationship between Christianity and the American experiment. Historical, theological, cultural, political, and sociological questions will be addressed pertaining to this relationship.
