STMM 505 - Sacramental and Liturgical Theology

3 credit hours

This course examines Christian worship and sacramental life in light of its historical and theological development. Although ecumenical in scope, this course is primarily from the Catholic perspective. Special attention is given to Anglican, Roman Catholic, and Lutheran sacramental life and its corporate celebrations, particularly the Eucharist. Course content and practice introduce students to ecclesial, pastoral, and ethical contexts of liturgy, encouraging the development of a critical “liturgical sense.” Prerequisites: STMM 501 or STMM 527.
