Course Details

The course is divided into two sections: (1) the historical evolution of Christian doctrine and its theological interpretations through Vatican II; (2) the development of doctrine in the post-Vatican II era, including an in-depth study of Karl Rahner's fundamental theology and contemporary theological issues with applications to present-day pastoral ministry.

Outcomes: Students will discover the tools of historical theology and correlation; revising theological understanding in changed historical-cultural contexts; and the hermeneutical task of translating their meaning into present contexts.
