THRS 2012 - Liberating Catholicism

5 credit hours
Liberating Catholicism explores the theological foundations of a liberating understanding of Catholicism through an examination of the Church’s efforts to engage the modern world. The courses looks at the roots of the tradition and its understanding of the person of Jesus Christ specifically as found in scriptures, church teaching and contemporary theologies. It will examine the emergence of the Christian community and the evolution of the Church and its mission. The understanding of Church as people of God will be used to explore an understanding of Christian discipleship as manifested in the sacramental life of the community and articulated in Catholic Social Teachings.
