THEOL 323 - The Church

Credits: (3)
This course explores the mystery called “The Church,” in its New Testament origins, its development in history, its theological development at the Second Vatican Council, and in its contemporary challenges in ecclesiology (e.g., authority in the Church, ecumenism, the role of women in the Church, involvement of the Church in politics). This study of the Church will lead to an understanding of discipleship, community, the nature of the good and a commitment to its practice. The course pays particular attention to primary texts of scripture and tradition, and to contemporary sources.
